Famous quotes containing the words word and/or length:
“Never had he felt the joy of the word more sweetly, never had he known so clearly that Eros dwells in language.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“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)
