Figure

Famous quotes containing the word figure:

“Put in hours and hours of planning, figure everything down to the last detail, then what? Burglar alarms start going off all over the place for no sensible reason. A gun fires of its own accord and a man is shot. And a broken-down old house no good for anything but chasing kids has to trip over us. Blind accidents. What can you do against blind accidents?”
—Ben Maddow (1909–1992)

“... only
A figure spun on stirring of the air,
And so, untrue.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I saw the figure 5
in gold

on a red
firetruck”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
