Famous quotes containing the words central and/or figure:
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“One figure can sometimes add up to a lot.”
—Wesley Ruggles, U.S. screenwriter. Tira (Mae West)
