Famous quotes containing the word pattern:
“Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.”

An age of discord and continual strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.”

“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
