"Incidentally, the usual designation of the magnitude scale to my name does less than justice to the great part that Dr. Gutenberg played in extending the scale to apply to earthquakes in all parts of the world."

"This is very similar to astronomy where different magnitudes are assigned to the brightness of an astronomical object, depending on the range of wavelengths being measured."
Astronomy
"If one introduces the concept of energy of an earthquake then that is a theoretically derived quantity."
Energy
"If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used."
Body
"In every area of the world where there is earthquake risk, there are still many buildings of this type; it is very frustrating to try to get rid of them."
Risk
"Intensity like signal strength will generally fall off with distance from the source, although it also depends on the local conditions and the pathway from the source to the point."
Strength

Justice
"Nothing is less predictable than the development of an active scientific field."
Development
"From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions."
Engineering
"For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum."

"Refining is inevitable in science when you have made measurements of a phenomenon for a long period of time."

"There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right; and, again, making all crime mean and ugly."

"They questioned us but they were polite because we had passports and money. I do not think they believed a word of the story and I thought it was silly but it was like a law-court. You did not want something reasonable, you wanted something technical and then stuck to it without explanations."
