Famous quotes containing the words fixed 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)
“The Americans have many virtues, but they have not Faith and Hope. I know no two words whose meaning is more lost sight of.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
