Lingering, bottled-up anger never reveals the ‘true colors’ of an individual. It, on the contrary, becomes all mixed up, rotten, confused, forms a highly combustible, chemical compound then explodes as something foreign, something very different...

Life is chemistry, not biology.

Wherever we look, the work of the chemist has raised the level of our civilization and has increased the productive capacity of our nation.

Mr Humphry Davy is a lively and talented man, and a thorough chemist…

I know sex sells. I also know gametes are sex cells. Her and I had chemistry together, and that’s just biology.

The discovery of an interaction among the four hemes made it obvious that they must be touching, but in science what is obvious is not necessarily true. When the structure of hemoglobin was finally solved,...

There’s a chemistry there that’s hard to describe. We have all played together on so many Czech teams. There’s no hesitation when they’re on the ice.

The dogma of the impossibility of determining the atomic constitution of substances, which until recently was advocated with such fervor by the most able chemists, is beginning to be abandoned and forgotten; and one can...

We have great team chemistry. Our seven seniors have done a great job all year long. We’re all 23. We’re all older guys. There’s nothing to fear.

This irrelevance of molecular arrangements for macroscopic results has given rise to the tendency to confine physics and chemistry to the study of homogeneous systems as well as homogeneous classes. In statistical mechanics a great...

And I built you tents you hardly ever see. I have had so much of you around me always and I have been unable to give you anything in return that you can keep.

The uniformity of the earth’s life, more astonishing than its diversity, is accountable by the high probability that we derived, originally, from some single cell, fertilized in a bolt of lightning as the earth cooled....

For it is not cell nuclei, not even individual chromosomes, but certain parts of certain chromosomes from certain cells that must be isolated and collected in enormous quantities for analysis; that would be the precondition...

The Kiss. It seemed like more than a kiss. It felt more like alchemy.

To prove to an indignant questioner on the spur of the moment that the work I do was useful seemed a thankless task and I gave it up. I turned to him with a smile...

We need science education to produce scientists, but we need it equally to create literacy in the public. Man has a fundamental urge to comprehend the world about him, and science gives today the only...

As chemists, we must rename [our] scheme and insert the symbols Ba, La, Ce in place of Ra, Ac, Th. As nuclear chemists closely associated with physics, we cannot yet convince ourselves to make this...

My dear nephew was only in his sixth year when I came to be detached from the family circle. But this did not hinder John and I from remaining the most affectionate friends, and many...

you’re Shane, right?’He inched away from her and managed a quick nod as he twisted the rag he held in his fingers. ‘Heidi sad you were willing to teach me how to ride.’ Her expression...

No matter how great the initial chemistry is, if your values are on two different pages, the odds of your marriage working decrease significantly.

I had D minuses in chemistry and all of the sciences, and now I’m known as a molecular gastronomist.

I notice that, in the lecture … which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris … he brought forward certain freak formulae for tartaric acid, in which hydrogen figures as bigamist … I may say, he...

I saw [Linus Pauling] as a brilliant lecturer and a man with a fantastic memory, and a great, great showman. I think he was the century’s greatest chemist. No doubt about it.

Before you treat a man with a condition, know that not all cures can heal all people. For the chemistry that works on one patient may not work for the next, because even medicine has...

I am now convinced that we have recently become possessed of experimental evidence of the discrete or grained nature of matter, which the atomic hypothesis sought in vain for hundreds and thousands of years. The...

It has been demonstrated that a species of penicillium produces in culture a very powerful antibacterial substance which affects different bacteria in different degrees. Generally speaking it may be said that the least sensitive bacteria...

Nernst was a great admirer of Shakespeare, and it is said that in a conference concerned with naming units after appropriate persons, he proposed that the unit of rate of liquid flow should be called...

At the moment I am occupied by an investigation with Kirchhoff which does not allow us to sleep. Kirchhoff has made a totally unexpected discovery, inasmuch as he has found out the cause for the...

What does despair mean to someone who interprets that emotion as a chemical reaction in the brain?

But I think my mistakes became the chemistry for my miracles. I think that my tests became my testimonies.

His attention felt more like an irrepressible gravitational pull than mere interest.

For the first time I saw a medley of haphazard facts fall into line and order. All the jumbles and recipes and hotchpotch of the inorganic chemistry of my boyhood seemed to fit into the...

It’s nice to win to keep good chemistry. We just want to keep everybody fresh and keep the momentum for the playoffs.

When it comes to chemistry with actors, I always feel chemistry is not something that comes and goes. You either have it or you don’t.

Dissection … teaches us that the body of man is made up of certain kinds of material, so differing from each other in optical and other physical characters and so built up together as to...

About eight days ago I discovered that sulfur in burning, far from losing weight, on the contrary, gains it; it is the same with phosphorus; this increase of weight arises from a prodigious quantity of...

To have that guy in your clubhouse four or five more years shows the loyalty of the organization. The chemistry of this team is great, and to have something like this happen, where you know...

There was something ghost-like and insubstantial about gases to these early chemists. They called liquids that turned into gases easily, “spirits.” Methyl alcohol, they called “wood spirit”; ethyl alcohol, “wine spirit.” Even today, alcoholic beverages...

In short, chemistry and chemical engineering contribute in critical ways to the economic strength, security, and well being of the nation.

I do not want chemistry to degenerate into a religion; I do not want the chemist to believe in the existence of atoms as the Christian believes in the existence of Christ in the communion...

Svante Arrhenius, recipient of the Nobel Prize in chemistry (1903), was a declared atheist and the author of The Evolution of the Worlds and other works on cosmic physics.

At my urgent request the Curie laboratory, in which radium was discovered a short time ago, was shown to me. The Curies themselves were away travelling. It was a cross between a stable and a...

Almost all the world is natural chemicals, so it really makes you re-think everything. A cup of coffee is filled with chemicals. They’ve identified a thousand chemicals in a cup of coffee. But we only...

The energy of what we do live is something we don’t really understand. It’s just something we lucked into. But the chemistry of the band is rare. … And the best way to get the...

The one thing about this team right now is I think our chemistry is getting pretty decent. They want to play for each other. They get along. And that’s good to see.

The chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasures amid smoke and vapour, soot and flame, poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem...

He is a dull observer whose experience has not taught him the reality and force of magic, as well as of chemistry.

The capital … shall form a fund, the interest of which shall be distributed annually as prizes to those persons who shall have rendered humanity the best services during the past year. … One-fifth to...

I have always believed that chemistry can’t be created between two people. You either have it or you don’t. The script can only enhance it.

Science began with a gadget and a trick. The gadget was the wheel; the trick was fire. We have come a long way from the two-wheel cart to the round-the-world transport plane, or from the...
