Famous quotes containing the words leo and/or horn:

    Leo: What was she, a TV groupie? A hooker?
    Rob: No, she was not a TV groupie, or a hooker. She’s a cellist. A very funny, pretty, interesting, intelligent, fabulous, vivacious cellist.
    Leo: Oh yeah, well, you’d better not see her again.
    Jonathan Reynolds, screenwriter. Leo (Richard Mulligan)

    The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
