Organic compounds exist in which a hydrogen atom, joined to the carbon, acquires acid properties as a result of the proximity of certain functional groupings.
Victor Grignard
Image
I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.
Brad Pitt
Image
In the first quarter of the nineteenth century the experimental proof for the interdependence of the composition and properties of chemical compounds resulted in the theory that they are mutually related, so that like composition governs like properties, and conversely.
Wilhelm Ostwald
Image
Worry compounds the futility of being trapped on a dead-end street. Thinking opens new avenues.
Cullen Hightower

ROMEO There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murders in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell. I sell thee poison thou hast sold me none. Farewell: buy food, and get thyself in flesh. Come, cordial and not poison, go with me To Juliet's grave for there must I use thee.
William Shakespeare
Image
If you foul up, tell the President and correct it fast. Delay only compounds mistakes.
Donald Rumsfeld
Image
The only difference between elements and compounds consists in the supposed impossibility of proving the so-called elements to be compounds.
Wolfgang Ostwald
Image
That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Image
And there must be simple substances, because there are compounds for the compound is nothing but a collection or aggregatum of simples.
Gottfried Leibniz
Image
Organic Chemistry has become a vast rubbish heap of puzzling and bewildering compounds.
J. Norman Collie
Image
In inorganic chemistry the radicals are simple in organic chemistry they are compounds—that is the sole difference.
Jean-Baptiste Dumas
Image
We are odd compounds full of explosive material to which circumstances may at any time apply a spark, with results undreamed of even by those who thought they knew us best.
Joseph P. Farrell
Image
Innovation accelerates and compounds. Each point in front of you is bigger than anything that ever happened.
Marc Andreessen
Image
I think chemistry is being frittered away by the hairsplitting of the organic chemists we have new compounds discovered, which scarcely differ from the known ones and when discovered are valueless-very illustrations perhaps of their refinements in analysis, but very little aiding the progress of true science.
Michael Faraday
Image
We will create life from inanimate compounds, and we will find life in space. But the life that should more immediately interest us lies between these extremes, in the middle range we all inhabit between our genes and our stars.
Nicholas A. Christakis
Image
Why, for example, should a group of simple, stable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen struggle for billions of years to organize themselves into a professor of chemistry? What's the motive?
Robert M. Pirsig
Image
Life began three and a half billion years ago, necessarily about as simple as it could be, because life arose spontaneously from the organic compounds in the primeval oceans.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
It is curious that what these psychedelics do, on a scale of a community, is they release new ideas. . . . And that this is how culture moves forward. That culture is a phenomenon dependent on the generation of ideas, plans, notions, connections. So this is precisely what these compounds are doing.
Terence McKenna
Image
A lot of compelling stories in the world aren't being told, and the fact that people don't know about them compounds the suffering.
Anderson Cooper
Image
Under normal circumstances, women go through a lot and breast cancer compounds the situation of our daily lives. Supporting other women is paying forward and cementing part of my legacy in giving my time in helping others to either live a better life or reach their full potential.
Thelma Jones
Image
If radioactive waste were dissolved as water soluble compounds and then widely dispersed in the oceans, no health or other environmental risks would ever occur.
Arthur B. Robinson
Image
The reactions of organic magnesium compounds are of two kinds - reactions of substitution and reactions of addition.
Victor Grignard
Image
We define organic chemistry as the chemistry of carbon compounds.
August Kekule
Image
What has been forgotten is never something purely individual. Everything forgotten mingles with what has been forgotten of the prehistoric world, forms countless, uncertain, changing compounds, yielding a constant flow of new, strange products.
Walter Benjamin
