Famous quotes containing the words chemistry and/or science:

    “If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of “decency.” The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
