Pattern Quotes - page 2

All human behavior, all human motivations, all man's hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind's tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction. (Robert A. Heinlein)
But there is only one surefire method of proper pattern recognition, and that is science. View quote
Michael Shermer
During the rule of the Shah, arrogance, aggression, territorial expansion at the expense of the Arabs and attempts to harm Iraq's national sovereignty and the rights of the Arab nation were a constant pattern. Iraq and the Arab nation were regarded as a sphere of influence for the expansionist plans of Iranian interests. That policy has been followed throughout history by the State of Persia against its neighbours to the west, and as we have shown. View quote
Saddam Hussein
The purest evil that human efforts could attain, in other words, was probably achieved by those men who made their wills the same and who made their eyes see the world in the same way, men who went against the pattern of life's diversity, men whose spirits shattered the natural wall of the individual body, making nothing of this barrier, set up to guard against mutual corrosion, men whose spirit accomplished what flesh could never accomplish. View quote
Yukio Mishima
One alters the past to form the future but there is a real significance to the pattern which finally appears, which resists all further change. View quote
James Salter
The delusion that one's sexual pattern is The Only Right Way To Be is probably the single most common sexual-psychosis syndrome of this era, and it is virtually almost always the victim's fault. You cannot acquire this delusion by observing reality. View quote
Spider Robinson
Drill your soldiers well, and give them a pattern yourself. View quote
Alexander Suvorov
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning. View quote
Henry Ward Beecher
Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there. View quote
Bruce Lee
Prophecy is most dangerous when you try to make it happen... The Pattern weaves itself around you, but when you try to weave it, even you cannot hold it. View quote
Robert Jordan
No skill, no special apti­tude, no vividness of imagination or precision of thinking would go unrecognized because the child who possessed it was of one sex rather than the other. No child would be relentlessly shaped to one pattern of behavior, but instead there should be many patterns, in a world that had learned to allow to each individual the pattern which was most congenial to his gifts. (Margaret Mead)
Axiom: Novel must have either one living character or a perfect pattern: fails otherwise. View quote
E. M. Forster
Without calling the overall national issue a bubble, it's pretty clear that it's an unsustainable underlying pattern. View quote
Alan Greenspan
Metaphor has traditionally been regarded as the matrix and pattern of the figures of speech. View quote
Marshall McLuhan
No matter how much a young man likes to think for himself, he is always trying to model himself on some abstract pattern largely derived from the example of the world around him. And a man, no matter how conservative, shows his own worth by his personal deviation from that pattern. View quote
Cesare Pavese
The simple point which I am concerned to make is that where ultimate values are irreconcilable, clear-cut solutions cannot, in principle, be found. To decide rationally in such situations is to decide in the light of general ideals, the overall pattern of life pursued by a man or a group or a society. View quote
Isaiah Berlin
Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. View quote
Alan Moore
Each community must win and hold the voluntary adherence of its members. No pattern is imposed on everyone, and the result will be one pattern if and only if everyone voluntarily chooses to live in accordance with that pattern of community. View quote
Robert Nozick
As more and more people see how it works more and more will wish to participate in or support it. And so it will grow, without being necessary to force everyone or a majority or anyone into the pattern. View quote
Robert Nozick
Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new. View quote
Hubert Humphrey
Rollerball is an incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense. There are bright colors and quick movement on the screen, which we can watch as a visual pattern that, in entertainment value, falls somewhere between a kaleidoscope and a lava lamp. (Roger Ebert)
In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way. View quote
Iris Murdoch
But love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day. View quote
Nicholas Sparks
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern. View quote
Anaïs Nin
One realizes that human relationships are the tragic necessity of human life; that they can never be wholly satisfactory, that every ego is half the time greedily seeking them, and half the time pulling away from them. In those simple relationships of loving husband and wife, affectionate sisters, children and grandmother, there are innumerable shades of sweetness and anguish which make up the pattern of our lives day by day, though they are not down in the list of subjects from which the conventional novelist works.
