Famous quotes containing the words cracking and/or pattern:

    A world is in flames, and you are cracking silly jokes.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
