Famous quotes containing the word length:

    “He thought he saw an Elephant,
    That practiced on a fife:
    He looked again, and found it was
    A letter from his wife.
    “At length I realize,” he said,
    “The bitterness of Life!””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
