Famous quotes containing the words splinter and/or pattern:
“Let me be
a splinter in your side
or a bride.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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)
