Famous quotes containing the words fission and/or yeast:
“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forcedby what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (19001980)
“Blues is to jazz what yeast is to breadwithout it, its flat.”
—Carmen McRae (b. 1922)
