Famous quotes containing the word pattern:

    “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)

    “Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”
    —Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)

    “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)
