Famous quotes containing the word figure:

    “When my outward action doth demonstrate
    The native act and figure of my heart
    In compliment extern, ‘tis not long after
    But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
    For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
