Famous quotes containing the words repetition and/or rate:

    Between repetition and forgetting, it is a marvel that a new thought ever struggles into existence.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
