“By convention sweet and by convention bitter, by convention hot, by convention cold, by convention color; but in reality atoms and void.”
― Democritus

“The atoms of our body, as well, flow in and away from us. We, like waves and like all objects, are a flux of events; we are processes, for a brief time monotonous”
― Carlo Rovelli, La realtà non è come ci appare: La struttura elementare delle cose

“When you separate an entwined particle and you move both parts away from the other, even at opposite ends of the universe, if you alter or affect one, the other will be identically altered or affected. Spooky. (Adam in Only Lovers Left Alive)”
― Jim Jarmusch

“I think that we were both the same star in the beginning of the universe and as the star exploded we drew apart. Our atoms merging into two different bodies, but over time our atoms found a way and found each other again.”
― Michaela Ruiz

“An atom is mostly made up of empty space. If you remove the empty space from every atom, the entire world's human population could fit inside a sugar cube.”
― Weike Wang, Chemistry

“The world existed for a very long time before this particular set of seven billion billion atoms came along and it will go right on after they're scattered up, down and sideways.”
― Rick Yancey, The Last Star

“The air around you is filled with floating atoms, sliding down the Earth's spacetime curve. Atoms first assembled in the cores of long-dead stars. Atoms within you, everywhere, disintegrating in radioactive decays. Beneath your feet, the floor - whose electrons refuse to let yours pass, thus making you able to stand and walk and run. Earth, your planet, a lump of matter made out of the three quantum fields known to mankind, held together by gravity, the so-called fourth force (even though it isn't a force), floating within and through spacetime.”
― Christophe Galfard, The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond

“At the atomic level, matter does not even exist with certainty; it only exists as a tendency to exist.”
― Bruce H. Lipton, The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles

“When we look at a solid lump of iron or rock, we are 'really' looking at what is almost entirely empty space. It looks and feels solid and opaque because our sensory systems and brains find it convenient to treat it as solid and opaque. It is convenient for the brain to represent a rock as solid because we can't walk through it. 'Solid' is our way of experiencing things that we can't walk through or fall throug, because of the electromagnetic forces between atoms. 'Opaque' is the experience we have when light bounces off the surface of an object, and none of it goes through.”
― Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

“The elasticity of our dreams can take us to unspoken worlds, but our innate horror of the unknown is what weighs us down. Fight it.


Travel to the isolated coils of smoldering dust trapped in our dusky sky or explore the unseen timeless vibration of dancing particles that fashions existence. Whatever choice you make can change your life forever. The same applies to a story. Words are the atoms of a tale, and together they compose a universe.”
― H.S. Crow

“The truly wise are meek. Yet being small and meek do not make one weak. Arming oneself with true knowledge generates strong confidence and a bold spirit that makes you a lion of God. The Creator does not want you to suffer, yet we are being conditioned by society to accept suffering, weak and passive dispositions under the belief that such conditions are favorable by God. Weakness is not a virtue praised by God. How could he desire for you to be weak if he tells us to stand by our conscience? Doing so requires strength. However, there is a difference between arrogance when inflating your ego, and confidence when one truly gets closer to God. One feels large, while the other feels small. Why? Because a man of wisdom understands that he is just a small pea in a sea of infinite atoms, and that in the end �� we are all connected. And did you not know that the smaller a creature is, the bolder its spirit?”

“Stoans want to be lissent to. Them big brown stoans in the formers feal they want to stan up and talk like men. Some times youwl see them lying on the groun with ther humps and hollers theywl say to you, Sit a wyl and res easy why dont you. Then when youre sitting on them theywl talk and theywl tel if you lissen. Theywl tel whats in them but you wont hear nothing what theyre saying without you go as fas as the stoan. You myt think a stoan is slow thats becaws you wont see it moving. Wont see it walking a roun. That dont mean its slow tho. There are the many cools of Addom which they are the party cools of stoan. Moving in ther millyings which is the girt dants of the every thing its the fastes thing there is it keaps the stilness going. Reason you wont see it move its so far a way in to the stoan. If you cud fly way way up like a saddelite bird over the sea and you lookit down you wunt see the waves moving youwd see them change 1 way to a nother only you wunt see them moving youwd be too far a way. You wunt see nothing only a changing stilness. Its the same with a stoan.”
― Russell Hoban, Riddley Walker

“We humans may think of ourselves as solid objects, all flesh and bone. But take a close look, and it’s clear our bodies are composed largely of oxygen and hydrogen. We are essentially ephemeral �� akin as much to wind water, and fire as to earth.”
― Curt Stager, Your Atomic Self: The Invisible Elements That Connect You to Everything Else in the Universe

“Chess is a game with simple rules and pieces, a small sixty-four-space board, but there are more possible chess games than there are atoms in the universe.”
― Austin Grossman, You

“If the world is made up of atoms, and everything we have is made out of atoms, why aren't we more grateful for them?”
― Sneha Abraham

“21. Take in a great breath of air and then blow it out. Contained in that single breath were at least three nitrogen atoms that were breathed by every human being who ever lived, including Jesus Christ, William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, and every president of the United States. This illustrates the fact that everything we do affects other people, positively or negatively. That’s why it is foolish to say, “Do your own thing if it doesn’t hurt anybody else.�� Everything we do affects other people.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“Everyone should be very grateful radioactivity exists at all. It can kill you, yes, but without it you wouldn't have been born in the first place. On Earth, deep under your feet, our planet happens to contain many atoms that do decay, all the time. Less so now than in the past, but still, Earth's mantle is radioactive. When atoms decay there, the particles they emit bump into their neighbours and generate heat, the very heat that contributes to keeping our planet warm. Without radioactivity, there would be no seismic or volcanic activity. The surface of the Earth would have been dead cold billions of yeras ago. Life as we know it would probably not exist at all.”
― Christophe Galfard, The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time, and Beyond

“Fact: You are part Shakespeare. You are part Jack the Ripper. You are part dinosaur. You are part of a star that exploded way back at the beginning of time. On one level, you've already lived forever,. There is no separation.”
― Anne Clendening, Bent: How Yoga Saved My Ass

“A good example of the archetypal ideas which the archetypes produce are natural numbers or integers. With the aid of the integers the shaping and ordering of our experiences becomes exact. Another example is mathematical group theory. ...important applications of group theory are symmetries which can be found in most different connections both in nature and among the 'artifacts' produced by human beings. Group theory also has important applications in mathematics and mathematical physics. For example, the theory of elementary particles and their interactions can in essential respects be reduced to abstract symmetries.

“We think that history is created in the big things, in the big events, but history is also created in the small things that we do every day, in the personal choices we make�� to think or not to think, to hold our tongues or to speak up, to act or not to act. Our actions have a ripple effect on those around us. Every time we conform or don't, we're shaping the world into our vision or someone else's vision. The universe isn't made up of atoms it's made up of stories, and these stories are shaped in college campuses and coffee houses around the country, not just in boardrooms and government buildings.”
― Sharanya Haridas

“Each cell within its atom is a raw, formless idea that exists beyond mortality. It is the wild state constantly creating your world, the one word in a collective equation that is you becoming written from nothing into something �� and so it knows, ultimately, annihilation is an essential instrument of becoming new to all that can be known.”
― Laurie Perez, The Power of Amie Martine

“U Žepču kažu da ti niko »nafaku« ne može uzeti, a u Sarajevu opet vele da niko sudbini umaći ne može. U Žepču ti »nafaka«, u Sarajevu sudbina.

Ima, čini mi se Šolohov knjigu »Čovjekova sud­bina«... (To se ja dvoumim zato što je u SSSR-u sudbina ukinuta.) Bio je i film. Kad ga gledaš plačeš kao da je »Mama Huanita«... Ali sve je tanko... Postoje atomi, to je naučno dokazano, samo atomi, nigdje nikoga... Ali i to je tanko...”

“I hold together pretty well, considering how much my atoms have been through.”
― Andrew Smith

“God is not a being but an atom where all the power, attraction, information, and beauty resides.”
― Debasish Mridha

“Human beings are nothing but intellectually organized closely interconnected interestingly and independently functioning trillions of atoms. We manipulate these atoms by our thoughts. At the same time, thoughts are the byproducts of complex interactions of these intelligent atoms.”
― Debasish Mridha

“Life is nothing but a few ecstatic dancing atoms.”
― Debasish Mridha

“It throbbed with an inhuman power, tidal and deep and painful. Look at this too long, Elvi thought, and I will lose my mind in it. She took a step toward it, feeling the structures in the blackness respond to her. She felt as if she could see the spaces between molecules in the air, like atoms themselves had become a thin fog, and for the first time she could see the true shape of reality looming up just beyond her reach.”
― James S.A. Corey, Cibola Burn

“Cells became molecules—countless and complex and varied. The demarcation of one thing and another failed. There was only a community of molecules, shifting in a vast dance. And then the atoms that made the molecules gave up their space, and she was a breath. A mist. A tiny play of fields and interactions in a vacuum as perfect as space. She was a vibration in nothingness.”
― James S.A. Corey, Cibola Burn

“un corps, qui est quelque chose d’étendu par définition même, est forcément toujours composé de parties, et si petit qu’il soit ou qu’on veuille le supposer, cela n’y change rien, de sorte que la notion de corpuscules indivisibles est contradictoire en elle-même; mais, évidemment, une telle notion s’accorde bien avec la recherche d’une simplicité poussée si loin qu’elle ne peut plus correspondre à la moindre réalité.”
― René Guénon, The Reign of Quantity & the Signs of the Times

“The prime number 137 had continuously occupied Pauli's mind. It is an approximate value for a constant appearing in the fine structure theory of atomic spectra which in its theoretical expression ties together electromagnetism, relativity and quantum theory. Pauli saw the fine structure theory of spectra as a key in understanding the deepest contemporary problems of theoretical physics. For that reason the number 137 possessed a mysterious attraction for him.”
