Sheldon Lee Glashow Quotes

Chemistry is not torture but instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff, and if you give it a chance, it will not only blow your mind but also give you a deeper understanding of your world.

Chemistry was always my weakest subject in high school and college.

I was glad I liked chemistry.

I had a great chemistry teacher and found it really interesting to learn how things are made up and how they work.

My special fascination has been to understand better the world of chemistry and its complexities.

About seven years later I was given a book about the periodic table of the elements. For the first time I saw the elegance of scientific theory and its predictive power.

I do not know if I am mistaken, but it seems that one can obtain more truths, important to Humanity, from Chemistry than from any other Science.

You have to look at how chemistry develops.

The chemist, whose science is immediately concerned with the combinations of atoms, has rarely found it necessary to discuss their shapes, and gives them no particular forms in his diagrams. That does not mean that the shapes are unimportant, but rather that the older methods could not define them.

Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something.

Knowing without seeing is at the heart of chemistry.

Conquering matter is to understand it, and understanding matter is necessary to understanding the universe and ourselves: and that therefore Mendeleev's Periodic Table, which just during those weeks we were learning to unravel, was poetry.

The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body.

I also became interested in chemistry and gradually accumulated enough test tubes and other glassware to do chemical experiments, using small quantities of chemicals purchased from a pharmacy supply house.

I can't explain chemistry. I really can't. I haven't got a clue what it's all about. It just happens. It's like falling in love. You can't explain why you fall in love or explain why it's this particular person.

Much of my work in biology has been driven by my early training in chemistry. When studying a new chemical compound, the first and most important thing is to determine its detailed molecular structure.

There's nothing colder than chemistry.

I wanted to understand the secrets behind my chemical experiments and behind the processes in nature.

The atoms may be compared to the letters of the alphabet, which can be put together into innumerable ways to form words. So the atoms are combined in equal variety to form what are called molecules.

Chemistry is the melodies you can play on vibrating strings.

I started my scientific work by putting forward a hypothesis on the arrangement of atoms in nitrogen-containing molecules.

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 wafer.

Chemistry was my college interest. Cooking is about chemistry.

Chemistry happens naturally, and there's not really a lot you can do intentionally to create it.

I was in AP chemistry in high school, and I really liked it.
