“As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.” PlayGuyCertainActorsFunStandardsMalesPatternsLockedMacho Author:Fred Ward
“People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.” PeopleThinkingKindCertainFallBrainClearMusicalPatternsSpeedMelody Author:John Frusciante
“When I was growing up, I didn't see me in the movies except in certain lesser roles. If it wasn't funny, I wasn't there. Then Sidney Poitier came along, and he wasn't funny. He was just good. There's me. So that was my pattern.” IfsCertainRolesGrowing UpGrowingPatterns Author:Morgan Freeman
“Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain.” HumansLooksMatterCertainEnergyBrainShapesScientistPatternsExperimentsGeometricGeometric Shapes Author:Tom DeLonge

“Before my encounter with Thomist philosophy through Maritain, I had almost reached the same conclusions through the logical development of my work, intuition and thought, but what a great sense of joy I felt upon discovering, in Maritain, the confirmation of certain thought patterns, certain ways of clarifying these to myself and to others.” WayPhilosophyJoyCertainFeltDevelopmentPatternsIntuitionConclusionEncountersLogicalDiscoveringConfirmationClarifying Author:Gino Severini
“And yet there are many times when it does not make any difference what pattern one uses. One thing is certain. The more bedraggled the fly gets the better the trout like it. I think there is a reason for this. I think the bedraggled half worn out wet fly more closely imitates a nymph than a new one does. Most commercial flies are tied too bushy and full. A little trimming of wings and thinning out of hackles will often work wonders.” ThinkingLittlesDoeReasonUseCertainDifferencesHalfWonderOne ThingSeaRiversWingsPatternsFishesBoatLakesFishingTiedWetWornWorn OutTroutNymphsTrimming Author:Ray Bergman
“In the home we make certain distinctions about functions of rooms and corridors; we do not deliver the groceries straight into the baby's crib. In hospitals we do not take the food trolleys right through the operating chamber, and we rarely have the recreation room next to the convalescent room. We sort out the functions.
