Famous quotes containing the words primal and/or pattern:
“Poetry, that is to say the poetic, is a primal necessity.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“In this lucid and flexible pattern only one thing remained always stationary, but this fallacy went unnoticed by Martha. The blind spot was the victim. The victim showed no signs of life before being deprived of it. If anything, the corpse which had to be moved and handled before burial seemed more active than its biological predecessor.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
