Quotes About Chemistry

~ Chip Heath
Interestingly, there has been significant research done with people experiencing what we call infatuation. When we have this experience we could call falling into infatuation (or falling into romantic interest), chemicals are secreted in the brain, causing light-headedness, dizziness, and a flood of emotions that we can't explain. Certain people trigger that kind of response in us. We are almost instantly drawn to them.
~ Chip Ingram
Nvidia discovered a vast new market for parallel processing, from computational chemistry to weather forecasting.
~ Chris Miller
Okay," Nina said. "What if you two drop the special acid and concentrate on opening the gate again, and I'll stand by with Lulu.
~ Christa Faust
There's all kinds of reasons that you fall in love with one person rather than another: Timing is important. Proximity is important. Mystery is important.

Just have something in there.

mouths met in a slow, warm kiss that demanded nothing yet promised the world. The kind only two people who'd shared incredible intimacies, and knew how good things could be, were able to fully savor. She tasted so sweet, and felt so right in his arms, that he couldn't even remember why he'd bargained for anything but the real deal
~ Leslie A. Kelly
Stacey stepped closer. Closer. Until the tips of her boot-clad feet touched his shoes and their clothes brushed. The place was wrong; the timing was even more wrong. But everything else about the moment
~ Leslie A. Kelly
Simon wrote on the paper and passed it over. Mr Parnock studied it wisely, as he would have studied a Greek text. Cu + Hg + HNO3 + Bf = CuHgNO3 + H2O + NO2
~ Leslie Charteris
To those who have chosen the profession of medicine, a knowledge of chemistry, and of some branches of natural history, and, indeed, of several other departments of science, affords useful assistance.
~ Charles Babbage
The problem is how do molecules react. Because if you want to transform a molecule into something useful or something you're interested in, it helps a lot to understand the structure. That means you can explore much more complicated systems, much more complicated reactions.
~ William Lipscomb
The less friendly your relationship is on camera, the more useful it is to be friends with them off camera.
~ Harry Lloyd
Green chemistry is replacing our industrial chemistry with nature's recipe book. It's not easy, because life uses only a subset of the elements in the periodic table. And we use all of them, even the toxic ones.
~ Janine Benyus
It was only after a while, after photographing mines and clear-cutting of forests in Maine, that I realized I was looking at the components of photography itself. Photography uses paper made from trees, water, metals, and chemistry. In a way, I was looking at all these things that feed into photography.
~ David Maisel
Pastry is different from cooking because you have to consider the chemistry, beauty and flavor. It's not just sugar and eggs thrown together. I tell my pastry chefs to be in tune for all of this. You have to be challenged by using secret or unusual ingredients.
~ Ron Ben-Israel
Our case, we used the organometallic compounds. Additionally, we need one important element, that is base. Without base, the acidic coupling reaction using organoboron compounds cannot proceed nicely. So, that is very important point in our cross-coupling reaction.
~ Akira Suzuki
I also taught myself how to blow glass using a propane torch from the hardware store and managed to make some elementary chemistry plumbing such as tees and small glass bulbs.
~ Robert B. Laughlin
It is fortunate that molecular synthesis also serves the utilitarian function of producing quantities of rare or novel substances which satisfy human needs, especially with regard to health, and the scientific function of stimulating research and education throughout the whole discipline of chemistry.
~ Elias James Corey
Your chemistry high school teacher lied to you when they told you that there was such a thing as a vacuum, that you could take space and move every particle out of it.
~ Adam Riess
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort of combination with each other: occasionally, atom must meet atom and, so to speak, each hold out vain hands to the other, but the pace is too great and, in a moment, they are far away from each other again.
~ William Henry Bragg
One of the ingredients that made Cheers work so well was the great ensemble of actors we had. That's the case with any good series.
~ Ted Danson
How do you create chemistry? If only I knew that! Some people say it's a natural thing that you have with someone, and maybe it is to do with that, but I think you can work on it.
~ Karen Gillan
