Famous quotes containing the word pattern:

    “Every child has an inner timetable for growth—a pattern unique to him. . . . Growth is not steady, forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing, before another forward leap.”
    —Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)

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

    “Although the pattern prevailed,
    The breaks were everywhere. That she could think
    Of no thread capable of the necessary
    Sew-work.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
