Famous quotes containing the words leigh and/or area:
“Thank God! none of my children have an atom of poetry in their composition!”
—Augusta Leigh (1783–1851)
“... 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)
