Figure Shows

Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or shows:

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

“When we our betters see bearing our woes,
We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
Who alone suffers, suffers most i’ the mind,
Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
But then the mind much sufferance doth o’er skip,
When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
