Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or length:
“Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)
“Your length in clay’s now competent,
A long war disturbed your mind;”
—John Webster (c. 1580–1638)
