Just remember you will find that one special love that you know is right but for some reason just doesn't last

It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.

Sometimes my courage fails me and I think I ought to stop working, live in the country and devote myself to gardening. But I am held by a thousand bonds, and I don't know when I shall be able to arrange things otherwise. Nor do I know whether, even by writing scientific books, I could live without the laboratory.

This means that we have here an entirely separate kind of chemistry for which the current tool we use is the electrometer, not the balance, and which we might well call the chemistry of the imponderable.

A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.

I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.

Nothing in this world is to be feared... only understood.
