In the first English class I attended, Prof. E. H. Elliot, addressing me, asked if I really belonged to the Junior B. A. class, and I had to answer him in the affirmative. He then proceeded to inquire how old I was.

C. V. RAMANI think what is needed in India today is the destruction of that defeatist spirit.
C. V. RAMANThe fundamental importance of the subject of molecular diffraction came first to be recognized through the theoretical work of the late Lord Rayleigh on the blue light of the sky, which he showed to be the result of the scattering of sunlight by the gases of the atmosphere.
C. V. RAMANIt has been invariably my experience that I could count on his cooperation and sympathy in every matter concerning my scientific work.
C. V. RAMANIt seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water.
C. V. RAMANWe need a spirit of victory, a spirit that will carry us to our rightful place under the sun, a spirit which can recognize that we, as inheritors of a proud civilization, are entitled to our rightful place on this planet. If that indomitable spirit were to arise, nothing can hold us from achieving our rightful destiny.
C. V. RAMANIt is generally believed that it is the students who derive benefit by working under the guidance of a professor.
C. V. RAMANThe whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.
C. V. RAMANTo an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water.
C. V. RAMANIn the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.
C. V. RAMANIt was the late Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar who, by founding the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, made it possible for the scientific aspirations of my early years to continue burning brightly.
C. V. RAMANAll the instruments of percussion known to European science are essentially nonmusical and can only be tolerated in open air music or in large orchestras where a little noise more or less makes no difference.
C. V. RAMANIt will not be an activity in which all people can participate.
C. V. RAMANSuccess can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you.
C. V. RAMANWhen we consider the fact that nearly three-quarters of the surface of the globe is covered by oceanic water.
C. V. RAMANIt seemed, indeed, that the study of light-scattering might carry one into the deepest problems of physics and chemistry.
