Famous quotes containing the word pattern:

    Although the pattern prevailed,
    The breaks were everywhere. That she could think
    Of no thread capable of the necessary
    Sew-work.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Swift while the woof is whole,
    turn now my spirit, swift,
    and tear the pattern there,
    the flowers so deftly wrought,
    the border of sea-blue,
    the sea-blue coast of home.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    No, I will be the pattern of all patience,
    I will say nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
