“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.”

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.

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.

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

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.

The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.

That which arises dependent on something is not in the least that thing, neither is it different from it. Therefore, it is neither permanent or nothing.

Because there are no phenomena which are not dependent arisings, there are no phenomena which are not void.

The marginal, the dependent variables. It lays the foundation for androcentric thinking, and leaves men safe in their solipsistic tunnel-vision.

For since it is impossible for a created monad to have a physical influence on the inner nature of another, this is the only way in which one can be dependent on another.

Arrogance is despised by God because no one has the right to feel superior to another when all are equally dependent on Him for everything.

They create a better behaved, chronic dependent person. Only with orthomolecular treatment can the majority of schizophrenic patients hope to become well and normally independent.

Women will be no longer made the slaves of, or dependent upon men. They will be equal in education, rights, privileges and personal liberty.
