Fixed Blades

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or blades:

“To find the length of an object, we have to perform certain
physical operations. The concept of length is therefore fixed when the operations by which length is measured are fixed: that is, the concept of length involves as much as and nothing more than the set of operations by which length is determined.”
—Percy W. Bridgman (1882–1961)

“The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman.”
