No one nor anything can silence me.

There exists everywhere a medium in things, determined by equilibrium.

Elements which are similar as regards their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs).

If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained. This is expressed by the law of periodicity.

People have different emotional levels. Especially when you're young.

I've got to learn French because I've been going there for years and still, the only words I know are the swear words.

We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain. As long as a man has the strength to dream, he can redeem his soul and fly.
