Famous quotes containing the words wolf, prize and/or chemistry:

    “What does it mean when we are told
    That the Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold?”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.”
    —Joan Didion (b. 1934)

    “...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
