Head Size

Famous quotes containing the words head and/or size:

    With his head over his shoulder turned,
    He seemed to find his way without his eyes,
    For out o’ doors he went without their help,
    And to the last bended their light on me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
