Famous quotes containing the words long and/or length:
“A boy is not free to find a partner of his own as long as he must be the partner to his mother.”

“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)
