“Dealing with the health of people is more important than political considerations.”

Many science people feel groups like WHO are there to do a job and not to be dealt with in a political way.

If you start from nothing, it is very difficult to get anywhere.

I was brought up as a physicist.

For polyatomic free radicals and ions, one is dependent both for the ground states and the excited states on the study of electronic spectra to obtain the shapes and the geometrical parameters.

It is the supreme honour that a scientist can receive. Some of the giants in physics and chemistry have received this prize.

The Glassco Commission was really not interested in good science. It was interested in good accounting.

There is nothing wrong with good accounting, except that it does not necessarily lead to good science.

The visible and near-ultraviolet emission spectrum of the CH radical has been known ever since spectra of an ordinary Bunsen burner have been taken.

Interest in the pseudo-sciences has become extraordinary.

The citation for the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry reads, ‘for contribution to the knowledge of electronic structures and geometry of molecules, especially free radicals,’ and therefore implies that the Prize has been awarded for a long series of studies extending practically over my whole scientific life.

Pursue science because it is knowledge, because it broadens our horizons. There is so much more to be discovered.

The CH radical is a very reactive radical which, under most conditions, has a very short lifetime.

It is very difficult to find appropriate words to say ‘thank you’ for an honour like the Nobel Prize.

Every newspaper feels it must have an astrology column, and even in the Carleton University bookstore this morning, I found books on astrology for sale.

A considerable share of the world’s population still cannot afford comfortable housing, education and quality health care.

I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.

A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.

I believe it is important that we Japanese write a constitution for ourselves that would reflect the shape of the country we consider desirable in the 21st century.

The Elders had nothing but contempt for human emotion; they considered it their biggest weakness. Perenelle knew it was humankind’s greatest strength.

You would have a huge statelessness problem if you don’t consider a child born abroad a U.S. citizen.
