I was invited to join the newly established Central Chemical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1954 and was able to establish a small research group in organic chemistry, housed in temporary laboratories of an industrial research institute.

This is why we call people exes, I guess -- because the paths that cross in the middle end up separating at the end. It's too easy to see an X as a cross-out. It's not, because there's no way to cross out something like that. The X is a diagram of two paths.

John Green

I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. That's the same view I have for performing. I'm performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home.

Yo-Yo Ma

My father was the guy on the block who said hi to everyone.

Damon Wayans

Towns are excrescences, gray fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves.

E. M. Forster

There is no achievement without goals.

Robert J. Mckain

The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.

A. N. Wilson

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,Who never to himself hath said,This is my own, my native land!Whose heart hath neer within him burnd,As home his footsteps he hath turnd,From wandering on a foreign strand!

Sir Walter Scott

I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Eleanor Roosevelt

My faith is the grand drama of my life. I'm a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colors for those who see none.

Olivier Messiaen

Nature is the master of talents genius is the master of nature.

J. G. Holland

Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?

George Bernard Shaw
