Wind Pattern

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or pattern:

“Not only does the wind of accidents stir me according to its blowing, but I am also stirred and troubled by the instability of my attitude.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“It is a very true and expressive phrase, “He looked daggers at me,” for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
