The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks.

Along a series of lines running from longer to shorter wavelengths the effect of the electric field becomes greater as the serial numbers increase - that is, as the wavelength decreases.

By recognizing that the chemical atom is composed of single separable electric quanta, humanity has taken a great step forward in the investigation of the natural world.

By allowing the positive ions to pass through an electric field and thus giving them a certain velocity, it is possible to distinguish them from the neutral, stationary atoms.

A beam of luminous hydrogen canal rays has, owing to its velocity, exactly the same direction as that of the electric field in which it may be made to move.

The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer.

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.

The emitters of the spectral series are without exception single atoms, not compounds of atoms.

The movement of the emitters of the spectral lines may be deduced on the basis of the Doppler principle.

The discovery of various phenomena has led to a recognition of the fact that the chemical atom is an individual which again is itself made up of several units into a selfcontained whole.

It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system.

No one can know what happiness is if you have not gone through the disappointmentOne can only savor the victory if he has felt the bitter defeat.

Bad English was the second language of Israel and bad Hebrew, of course, remained the national language.

You soothe my soul. You fill it with so tender a sentiment that it is sweet to live during the time that I see you.

Beware of the fury of the patient man.

[Winning the Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition]definitely opened some doors.

Give me a paper and pen, so I can write about my life of sin. A couple of bottles of gin, in case I don't get in.

I would love to do more science fiction. I always envisioned the Riddick franchise as a continuing mythology, so I always imagined that there would be many other films to follow.

Be merry; you have cause, so have we all, of joy; for our escape is much beyond our loss . . . . then wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.

The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical.
