Figure

Famous quotes containing the word figure:

“When my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, ‘tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.”

A figure spun on stirring of the air,
And so, untrue.”
