Feet Fixed Buffer

Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:

    Our loss put six feet under ground
    Is measured by the magnolia’s root;
    Our gain’s the intellectual sound
    Of death’s feet round a weedy tomb.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)
