Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:

    “And they lie like wedges,
    Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end,
    And are a figure of the way the strong
    Of mind and strong of arm should fit together,
    One thick where one is thin and vice versa.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
