Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:
“When Mr. Apollinax visited the United States
His laughter tinkled among the teacups.
I thought of Fragilion, that shy figure among the birch-trees,
And of Priapus in the shrubbery
Gaping at the lady in the swing.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
