Length Word

Famous quotes containing the words length and/or word:

    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)

    I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say ‘you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.’
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)
