Figure

Famous quotes containing the word figure:

    The parent in charge is the disciplinarian.... I do not believe in letting discipline wait for another parent to handle it, nor do I think the father or mother should be allowed to become a shadowy figure who walks in the door and has to play the bad guy in the house.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    I can see that figure now—pallidly neat, pitiably respectable, incurably forlorn! It was Bartleby.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.
    Minna Antrim (1861–?)
