Famous quotes containing the word area:

    “... 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)

    “I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
    Sprouting despondently at area gates.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
    —Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
