Fragrant Compounds

Famous quotes containing the words fragrant and/or compounds:

    Beautiful, wide-spread,

    what meadow yields
    so fragrant a leaf
    as your bright leaf?
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    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)
