Quotations regarding 'Repetition'

Choose a letter:

Lascelles Abercrombie, British Poet (1881-1938)
It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.
Muhammad Ali, American Athlete (1942-  )
Some people say that practice makes perfect but I just feel that the repetition works against me and I start thinking too far ahead during a show.
Rick Allen, Musician (1963-  )
Repetition makes reputation and reputation makes customers.
Elizabeth Arden, Canadian Businessman (1878-1966)
The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repetition.
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.
Roland Barthes, French Critic (1915-1980)
You don't have to worry about being a number one, number two, or number three. Numbers don't have anything to do with placement. Numbers only have something to do with repetition.

Constant repetition carries conviction.
Robert Collier, American Publisher

Ralph A. Cram, -
It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.

Repetition on things like that becomes quite painful. If you do a stunt sometimes it can look like a stunt.
Marton Csokas, New Zealander Actor (1966-  )
There are all sorts of reasons why I don't do much work in the theatre, the main one being that after two performances I feel I've given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It's like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life.
Peter Cushing, British Actor (1913-1994)
In a repressive society, a writer can be deeply influential, but in a society that's filled with glut and repetition and endless consumption, the act of terror may be the only meaningful act.
Don DeLillo, American Novelist (1936-  )
The happiness of most people is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.
Ernest Dimnet, French Clergyman
I'm very hard on myself because I know how good my body can look. Dorie has taught me to use less weight and more repetition so I don't become too muscular.
Donna Dixon, American Actress (1957-  )
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
Lawrence Durrell, British Writer (1912-1990)
One needs but to say that, in the case of an unfamiliar sequence of syllables, only about seven can be grasped in one act, but that with frequent repetition and gradually increasing familiarity with the series this capacity of consciousness may be increased.
Hermann Ebbinghaus, German Psychologist (1850-1909)
We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
Jane Fonda, American Actress (1937-  )
My greatest fear: repetition.
Max Frisch, Swiss Novelist (1911-1991)
