Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets.

The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour.

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron.

On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron.

Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time.

The more we try to rest ourselves from our Egos, the deeper we sink into it.

When a woman starts talking about her duty, her regard for appearances, and her respect for religion, she raises so many bulwarks which she delights to see captured by storm.

Everyone and everything is in some degree or other our teacher.

There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better.

My family was scientifically inclined: My brother did turn into a neurophysiologist, and I almost became a scientist myself. I could have gone that way.

The imagination equips us to perceive reality when it is not fully materialized.

Jennifer Garner and I are very close.

Any political party that includes the word 'democratic' in its name, isn't.

The process of rewriting is enjoyable, because you're not in that existential panic when you don't have a novel at all.

It must be a fault in me that I am not gravely shocked at the sins of others unless they personally affect me.
