Attachment Figure

Famous quotes containing the words attachment and/or figure:

    Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

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