Famous quotes containing the words action and/or figure:
“Without our being especially conscious of the transition, the word parent has gradually come to be used as much as a verb as a noun. Whereas we formerly thought mainly about being a parent, we now find ourselves talking about learning how to parent. . . . It suggests that we may now be concentrating on action rather than status, on what we do rather than what or who we are.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“The mind is a strange and wonderful thing. Im not sure itll ever be able to figure itself out. Everything else, maybe, from the atom to the universe, everything except itself.”
—Daniel Mainwaring (19021977)
