Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or compounds:
“What makes us so bitter against people who outwit us is that they think themselves cleverer than we are.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
