Maybe we were all destined to just keep doing the same stupid things, over and over again, never really learning a single thing.

Sarah Dessen

I think it's why we're able to look at with comic book stories or origin stories, why is it that we can keep retelling these stories over and over? And hopefully it's because it hits something so universal and so primal inside of us that we actually yearn for that same story over and over. But toned and different form, and updated and modernized, and I can go into the specifics.

Kimberly Peirce

I don't wanna keep playing the same song over and over again. It's just thinking about "what's going to be the coolest thing to play on this particular show?" The easiest thing to do is to play the single over and over again.

John Britt Daniel

If you could find out what the most successful people did in any area and then you did the same thing over and over, you'd eventually get the same result they do.

Brian Tracy

The one thing that I keep learning over and over again is that I don't know nothing. I mean, that's my life lesson.

Dwayne Johnson

I think my biggest thing is learning when to hit which serve when, not doing the exact same thing over and over. Because O.K., great, it's 120 miles per hour, but they're standing right there, and they just block it back.

Madison Keys

… in the relentless and meaningless manner one searches for something in a nightmare, coming on doors that won’t open or drawers that won’t shut, struggling over and over against the same meaningless thing, not knowing why the effort seems so desperate, why the sudden sight of a chair with a shawl thrown over it inspires the mind with horror.

Anne Rice

I don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over for the rest of my life.

Joe Buck

I don't like to be doing the same thing over and over again, so I keep trying other things.

Samuel Ervin Beam

Be it in the movies I make or on stage, I think it's a trap to keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Bobcat Goldthwait

You can't just keep bottling the same thing over and over again and think the audience isn't going to catch on.

Martie Maguire

I'm not the kind of person that can do the same thing over and over and over, so that's why touring, playing in a different venue every night, in front of a different audience, is so rewarding, you know, because it always feels fresh.

Jake Shimabukuro

I hope we don't have to keep going back over the same territory and winning the same rights over and over again. The battle for birth control. The battle for abortion. The parity of women's health. It's very depressing to think that you win these rights, but then you have to win them again, and again, and again, and fight the same battles over and over.

Erica Jong

I don't write the same book over and over - I think if I did that, I would stop writing. I couldn't write a series with the same character, and I couldn't write a romance novel over and over again that takes place at a different beach every year. That's not who I am.

Jodi Picoult

Within the small crew of people who hold the media's many 'NeverTrump' positions, the Ethics and Public Policy Center's Pete Wehner doesn't get enough credit for writing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again.

Mollie Hemingway

Repetition is sometimes the best way to deal with the Luideag: just keep saying the same thing over and over until she gets fed up and gives you what you want. All preschoolers have an instinctive grasp of this concept, but most don’t practice it on immortal water demons. That’s probably why there are so few disembowelments in your average preschool.
