Famous quotes containing the words repetition and/or rate:

    Change is upsetting. Repetition is tedious. Three cheers for variation!
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    If you could choose your parents,... we would rather have a mother who felt a sense of guilt—at any rate who felt responsible, and felt that if things went wrong it was probably her fault—we’d rather have that than a mother who immediately turned to an outside thing to explain everything, and said it was due to the thunderstorm last night or some quite outside phenomenon and didn’t take responsibility for anything.
    D.W. Winnicott (20th century)
