Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn
Image
The future is always a wholeness, a sameness. We're all tall and happy there,' she said. 'This is why the future fails. It always fails. It can never be the cruel happy place we want to make it.
Don DeLillo

What is it about sameness that so draws me, and how could I begin to have that same kind of attraction to change?
Mary Anne Radmacher
Image
You can't state difference and also state equality. We have to state sameness to understand equality.
Zadie Smith
Image
I just know that sameness, repetition, and conceptualizing are the acting craft's adversaries, and it seems more intelligent to start off within a framework where those things are, to some degree, taken out of your hands.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Almost nobody travels willingly from sameness to sameness and repetition to repetition, even if the physical effort required is trivial.
Jane Jacobs

It was far in the sameness of the wood I was running with joy on the Demon's trail, Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.
Robert Frost
Image
Half of your power lies in your sameness with others. The other half lies in your uniqueness.
Alan Cohen
Image
Boredom is the keynote of poverty — of all its indignities, it is perhaps the hardest of all to live with — for where there is no money there is no change of any kind, not of scene or of routine. To be able to break out of its dark brown sameness.
Moss Hart
Image
Human nature has a much greater genius for sameness than for originality.
James Russell Lowell
Image
We already have so much pressure towards sameness through radio, film and comic outside the school, that we can't afford to do a thing inside that is not toward individual development.
Sylvia Ashton-Warner
Image
You don't get new products and services out of sameness.
Jane Jacobs
Image
People have foolishly mistaken equality for sameness. Equality of the genders means that both have equal value and worth, and one is not better than the other. But it doesn't mean we're all exactly the same. And many of us who still believe in gender separation say, 'Vive la difference!
Mike Huckabee

If sometimes there seems to be a sort of sameness of sound in The New Yorker, it probably can be traced to the magazine's copydesk, which is a marvelous fortress of grammatical exactitude and stylish convention.
E. B. White
Image
It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.
E. B. White

My fight is not for racial sameness but for racial equality and against racial prejudice and discrimination.

Image
There's something special about racing in real streets. The 'artificial' circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own - Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
Mario Andretti
Image
There's a big difference between oneness and sameness. Oneness implies that we're all connected and that we all come from the same source. Sameness implies that we all have to do things and exactly think the same way as everybody else does.
Wayne Dyer
Image
The same yesterday, today, and forever.
John Bunyan
Image
So childhood too feels good at first, before one happens to notice the terrible sameness, age after age.
John Gardner
Image
There's a sameness about American poetry that I don't think represents the whole people. It represents a poetry of the moment, a poetry of evasion, and I have problems with this. I believe poetry has always been political, long before poets had to deal with the page and white space . . . it's natural.

Elton John can be a master of the sleight of hand. The arrangements make it seem like there are substantial melodies underneath the tracks - but almost nothing demands repeated listenings. Similarly, he always sounds like he's singing up a storm, but his voice glosses over the material, reducing most things to an uninteresting sameness.
