Fine Structure Constant

Famous quotes containing the words fine, structure and/or constant:

    To stand on common ground
    here and there gritty with pebbles
    yet elsewhere ‘fine and mellow—
    uncommon fine for ploughing’
    there to labor
    planting the vegetable words
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    If ever thou shalt love,
    In the sweet pangs of it remember me;
    For such as I am, all true lovers are,
    Unstaid and skittish in all motions else
    Save in the constant image of the creature
    That is beloved.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
