Famous quotes containing the word pattern:

    “Swift while the woof is whole,
    turn now my spirit, swift,
    and tear the pattern there,
    the flowers so deftly wrought,
    the border of sea-blue,
    the sea-blue coast of home.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “No, I will be the pattern of all patience,
    I will say nothing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
