πŸ’¬ Usage Examples

β€œHe was one of the least prolific painters of his era. In 40 years, he completed, at most, 15 paintings and left much work -- including the β€˜Mona Lisa’ -- deliberately unfinished. In contrast, a kind of graphomania seemed to seize him. By some counts, the notebooks run to 16,000 pages -- only a fraction of which have been viewed.” Parul Sehgal; What Made Leonardo Such a Great Artist?
