Famous quotes containing the words area and/or size:
“... nothing is more human than substituting the quantity of words and actions for their character. But using imprecise words is very similar to using lots of words, for the more imprecise a word is, the greater the area it covers.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,”
