The scale relates to everything. The thickness of a pipe, the thickness of a leg of the furniture. Even color could have a scale.

Massimo Vignelli

When I was at school my jography told me th' earth was shaped like a orange an' I found out before I was ten that th' whole orange doesn't belong to nobody. No one owns more than his bit of a quarter an' there's times it seems there's not enow quarters to go around. But don't you-none o' you- think as you own th' whole orange or you'll find out you're mistaken, an' you won't find it without hard knocks. What children learns from children, is that there's no sense grabbin' at th' whole orange-peel an' all. If you do you'll likely not get even th' pips, an' them's too bitter to eat.

Frances Hodgson Burnett

Nurses never tell you what they know. They're hired for their cheeriness and the thickness of their hair. They need to look alive and healthy, to give the patients something to aim for.

Jenny Downham

The ideas of people in general are not raised higher than the roofs of the houses. All their interests extend over the earth's surface in a layer of that thickness. The meeting-house steeple reaches out of their sphere.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

My socks DO match. They're the same thickness.

Steven Wright

Don't judge a book by its thickness either.

Craig Bruce

Another way to test hypotheses about adaptation is to consider trait variation across a group of species instead of focusing on the trait of a single species. Rather than seeking to explain why polar bears have fur of a certain thickness, one tries to explain why bears in colder climates have thicker fur than bears in warmer climates. The former problem is hard to solve, since it is hard to say exactly what fur thickness polar bears should have if natural selection guided the evolution of that trait.

Elliott Sober

Rays were blazing through the atmosphere of the earth, the horizon became bright orange, gradually passing into all the colors of the rainbow: from light blue to dark blue, to violet and then to black. What an indescribable gamut of colors! Just like the paintings of the artist Nicholas Roerich.

Yuri Gagarin

Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.

Nas

In the surface of the paper there is only length and width-there is no such thing as thickness.

John Clayton

If the thickness is larger than the critical value I can produce an explosion.

Leo Szilard

I only have hair extensions because I feel like my hair is thin and I look like Pocahontas and I need some thickness and volume.

Sammi Giancola

Remember to negotiate thickness as well as height on the lettering of your name.

Julia Phillips

The thickness of the walls should be sufficient for two armed men to pass each other with ease.

Vitruvius

I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. 'This is Greg Norman's orange peel!'

Phil Mickelson

Occasionally I’ll be sitting somewhere and I’ll be listening to someone perhaps not saying the kindest things about me. And I’ll look down at my hand and I’ll sort of pinch my skin to make sure it still has the requisite thickness I know Eleanor Roosevelt expects me to have.

Hillary Clinton
