Chemicals Quotes - Page 13

• Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault?

• En repetidas ocasiones y con toda franqueza hemos anunciado que en la doctrina de seguridad nacional de Irán no hay lugar para las armas atómicas y químicas, ya que las consideramos contrarias a las leyes islámicas. En este sentido, el Líder Supremo de Irán (Ayatolá Seyyed Ali Jamenei) ha decretado que las armas de destrucción masiva están prohibidas por la religión musulmana. [. . .] Por lo tanto, apoyamos la idea de un Oriente Próximo libre de armas de destrucción masiva[.]

• Tengo un tatarabuelo que fue coronel de caballería confederada y aún conservo su foto militar en la pared. Los productos químicos del tinte de la foto han cambiado con los años hasta el punto de que parece verde. Al parecer, uno de mis familiares aún conserva el trozo de papel en el que se enumeraban todas las cosas que llevaba en el bolsillo cuando le dispararon.

• La razón subyacente de la convergencia parece ser que todos los organismos están sometidos al escrutinio constante de la selección natural y también a las restricciones de los factores físicos y químicos que limitan severamente la acción de todos los habitantes de la biosfera. En pocas palabras, la convergencia demuestra que en el mundo real no todo es posible.

• There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. If they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. You see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. Because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.

• How you answer the question, whether individuals should be persuaded to live their whole lives in a state of chemical dependency, first upon contraceptive steroids and then on replacement therapy, depends upon your regard for the autonomy of the individual. If men would not live their lives this way, why should women?

• [Los genes producen enzimas y las enzimas controlan el ritmo de los procesos químicos. Los genes no crean la "búsqueda de novedades" ni ningún otro comportamiento complejo y manifiesto. La predisposición a través de una larga cadena de reacciones químicas complejas, mediada por una serie más compleja de circunstancias vitales, no equivale a identificación ni siquiera a causalidad.

• Don't you feel something magical when you're in love?... I do, I certainly do ... but I think that feeling of magic is a hardwired psychological response. It's a chemical thing in the brain. It's a flow of chemicals and electrical currents, and it developed over millions of years in the process of evolution to aid in the procreation of the species.

• Aunque el problema de la transmutación de los elementos químicos entre sí es mucho más antiguo que la definición satisfactoria del concepto mismo de elemento químico, es bien sabido que el primer y más importante paso hacia su solución fue dado hace sólo diecinueve años por el difunto Lord Rutherford, que puso en marcha el método de los bombardeos nucleares.

• If any spiritualistic medium can do stunts, there is no more need for special conditions than there is for a chemist to turn down lights, start operations with a hymn, and ask whether there's any chemical present that has affinity with something named Hydrogen.

• America has shown we are serious about removing the threat of weapons of mass destruction... We now know that Saddam Hussein had the capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction.... We know he had the necessary infrastructure because we found the labs and the dual-use facilities that could be used for these chemical and biological agents. We know that he was developing the delivery systems - ballistic missiles - that had been prohibited by the United Nations.

• Synthetic or inorganic substances do not contain any 'life force'; they are not dynamic. Everything is made of chemicals, but organic substances like essential oils have a structure which only mother nature can put together. They have a life force, an additional impulse which can only be found in living things.
