Famous quotes containing the words span and/or length:

“The last bear, shot drinking in the Dakotas
Loped under wires that span the mountain stream.”

“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)
