Famous quotes containing the word size:

    O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
    With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
