Figure Holding

Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or holding:

    Parenthood has really changed for me. It’s much more than taking care of my son; more than saying yes and no. Now I have to figure out what I think and what I know so that I can answer his questions and explain things to him.
    —Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 4 (1981)

    The child hand raised to reach the holding hand. Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
