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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Marriage and its entourage of possession and jealousy enslave the spirit.

Don't be reckless. Don't play it safe.

Man sees what he knows, not what he seesShort story, The Mallard

Beware of those who weep with realization, for they have realized nothing.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficient and omnipotent God would have designedly created...that a cat should play with mice.

Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.

I suffer every moment of every day that I am not with my son. All I want is to be reunited with my son.

Most people lead lives of frustration and disapointment. They enjoy temporary pleasures and long-lasting suffering.

And when you'd finished running you'd be thousands of miles away from people who love you and your problem would still be there except you'd have nobody to help you.
