Famous quotes containing the words left and/or foot:
“There is a moment when nothing can be wiped out and left behind any more, when there is only reality—and reality is horrifying.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“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)
