Famous quotes containing the words left and/or leg:
“It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
““Which is more important to you, your field or your children?” the department head asked. She replied, “That’s like asking me if I could walk better if you amputated my right leg or my left leg.””
—Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)
