Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:
“We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way.... A guy that washes out at the controls of his own ship, well, he goes down doing the thing that he loved the best. It seems to me that that’s a very special way to die.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
