"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."

Johannes Stark, German Physicist

Atoms, Will

"The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity."

Steven Chu, American Scientist

Atoms,

"We may say that a basic substance is one which has a lone pair of electrons which may be used to complete the stable group of another atom, and that an acid is one which can employ a lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms."

Gilbert Newton Lewis, American Scientist

Atoms, May

"You may have heard the world is made up of atoms and molecules, but it's really made up of stories. When you sit with an individual that's been here, you can give quantitative data a qualitative overlay."

William Turner, British Scientist

Atoms, May, World

"The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language."

Werner Heisenberg, German Physicist

Atoms, Language, Problems

"After realizing that we would eventually be able to build molecular machines that could arrange atoms to form virtually any pattern that we wanted, I saw that an awful lot of consequences followed from that."

K. Eric Drexler, American Scientist

Atoms, Consequences, Machines

"For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and these can come in the form of electromagnetic waves only from accelerated electric quanta."

Johannes Stark, German Physicist

Atoms, Light

"Nanotechnology is manufacturing with atoms."

William Powell, American Actor

Atoms, Manufacturing

"It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms."

George Wald, American Scientist

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

"I tell my students to try to know molecules, so well that when they have some question involving molecules, they can ask themselves, What would I do if I were that molecule?"

Question

"A scientist lives with all reality. There is nothing better."

Nothing

"A scientist is in a sense a learned small boy. There is something of the scientist in every small boy. Others must outgrow it. Scientists can stay that way all their lives."

Scientists

"We have fallen in love with the body. That's that thing that looks back at us from the mirror. That's the repository of that lovely identity that you keep chasing all your life."

Life

"I am growing old, and my future, so to speak, is already behind me."

Future

"There is nothing worth having that can he obtained by nuclear war - nothing material or ideological - no tradition that it can defend. It is utterly self-defeating."

War

"In fact, death seems to have been a rather late invention in evolution. One can go a long way in evolution before encountering an authentic corpse."
