Famous quotes containing the words pattern, hair and/or loss:
“It is a very true and expressive phrase, He looked daggers at me, for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)

Jack: Hair of the dog that bit him.
Sadie: Hair? He must have swallowed the dog.”
—Robert Rossen (19081966)

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
