"Francie came away from her first
chemistry lecture in a glow. In one hour she found out that everything
was made up of atoms which were in continual motion. She grasped the
idea that nothing was ever lost or destroyed. Even if something was
burned up or rot away, it did not disappear from the face of the earth;
it changed into something else - gases, liquids, and powders.
Everything, decided Francie after that first lecture, was vibrant with
life and there was no death in chemistry. She was puzzled as to why
learned people didn't adopt chemistry as a religion." ---A
Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Betty Smith, 1943)
"America believes in education: the average professor earns more money
in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week."
---Evan Esar
"I'd be just as pleased - or very nearly - at finding he's my father even if he wasn't a king. Even though Education and all sorts of horrible things are going to happen to me." --said by Prince Cor in The Horse and His Boy, the third book in the Chronicles of Narnia (C. S. Lewis, 1954)
"I finally have this chemistry thing down to a science." --Unknown chemistry student
