Famous quotes containing the words leading and/or tone:

“Everywhere—all over Africa and South America ... you see these suburbs springing up. They represent the optimum of what people want.

—J.G. (James Graham)

“Genius resembles a bell; in order to ring it must be suspended into pure air, and when a foreign body touches it, its joyful tone is silenced.”
