Famous quotes containing the words left and/or foot:

    “For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.”
    —Mignon McLaughlin (b. c. 1915)

    “In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.””
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
