Solid State Physics

Famous quotes containing the words solid, state and/or physics:

    We have the pleasures suitable to our lot; let us not usurp those of greatness. Ours are more natural and all the more solid and sure for being humbler. Since we will not do so out of conscience, at least out of ambition let us reject ambition.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Mother,
    each time I talk to God
    you interfere.
    You of the bla-bla set,
    carrying on about the state of letters.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Although philosophers generally believe in laws and deny causes, explanatory practice in physics is just the reverse.
    Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)
