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)
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
