“Each attraction, limited as it may appear to be, is a cosmic happening-it occurs within the broader pattern of things, within the endlessly complex structure which underlies our lives.” MayOur LivesHappeningsStructureComplexesPatternsAttractionCosmic Author:Amalia Kahana-Carmon
“Every place is given its character by certain patterns of events that keep on happening there. These patterns of events are locked in with certain geometric patterns in the space. Indeed, each building and each town is ultimately made out of these patterns in the space, and out of nothing else; they are the atoms and molecules from which a building or a town is made.” MadeCharacterCertainGivenSpaceEventsBuildingHappeningsTownsPatternsAtomsLockedMoleculesGeometric Author:Christopher Alexander

“People tend to set themselves up in patterns; something happens, it hurts them, then something similar happens, and - it's happened again! It seems much bigger then, and they get worried and go through life looking for that thing, and because they're so concerned and looking for it, when anything that happens resembles that thing, they're sure it's happening again. So sometimes people think things are repeating even when they're not.” PeopleThinkingSometimesSeemsHappensHurtHappenedHappeningsConcernedBiggerPatternsThings HappenWorriedIt HurtsHappening Again Author:Mary Gaitskill

“We want the children to conform; we want to control their minds, to shape their conduct, their way of living, so that they will fit into the pattern of society, That is what every parent wants, is it not?

The pattern may vary slightly, but they all want the child to conform.” WayWantMindMayChildrenAmericaParentFitShapesHappeningsEuropeIndiaPatternsRussiaConformVary Book:Collected Works of J Krishnamurti 1956-1957: A Light to Yourself Source: Collected Works of J Krishnamurti 1956-1957: A Light to Yourself
“Back then and later on when I was in NEU! and Harmonia I was too much preoccupied with my own music to be aware of the German music scene, let alone following it actively. But changes which were happening with S.o.S. (namely the development of individual ideas and the effort to distinguish from the Anglo- American rock patterns) also helped me recognize other musicians within my immediate vicinity.” IdeasIndividualMy OwnEffortToo MuchRocksDevelopmentSceneMusicianHappeningsPatternsFollowingVicinity Author:Michael Rother
