Famous quotes containing the words length and/or words:
“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)
“If I had found the words I was looking for, I would not have read so much.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
