The Nobel Peace Prize has always been a joke - albeit a grim one. Alfred Bernhard Nobel famously invented dynamite and felt sorry about it. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
I am one of those who think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries. ~ Marie Curie
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Marie Curie
It can even be thought that radium could become very dangerous in criminal hands, and here the question can be raised whether mankind benefits from knowing the secrets of Nature, whether it is ready to profit from it or whether this knowledge will not be harmful for it. The example of the discoveries of Nobel is characteristic, as powerful explosives have enabled man to do wonderful work. They are also a terrible means of destruction in the hands of great criminals who lead the peoples towards war. I am one of those who believe with Nobel that mankind will derive more good than harm from the new discoveries. ~ Pierre Curie
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Pierre Curie
And this is the ultimate lesson that our knowledge of the mode of transmission of typhus has taught us: Man carries on his skin a parasite, the louse. Civilization rids him of it. Should man regress, should he allow himself to resemble a primitive beast, the louse begins to multiply again and treats man as he deserves, as a brute beast. This conclusion would have endeared itself to the warm heart of Alfred Nobel. My contribution to it makes me feel less unworthy of the honour which you have conferred upon me in his name. ~ Charles Nicolle
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Charles Nicolle
Some observers compare elections in some countries with sports events, where people are but spectators. Moreover, elections must not be mere interludes for pushing a lever and then retreating to passivity, for democracy demands committed participation in the daily workings of society. ~ Alfred-Maurice De Zayas
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred-Maurice De Zayas
In common use almost every word has many shades of meaning, and therefore needs to be interpreted by the context. ~ Alfred Marshall
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Marshall
Organic farming is environmentally friendlier to every acre of land. But it requires _more_ acres. The trade-off is a harsh one. Would we rather have pesticides on farmland and nitrogen runoffs from them? Or would we rather chop down more forest?

How much more forest would we have to chop down? If we wanted to reduce pesticide use and nitrogen runoff by turning all of the world's farmland to organic farming, we'd need about 50 percent more farmland than we have today. Nobel Prize winner Norman Borlaug, whose work helped triple crop yields over the last fifty years and arguably saved billions from starvation, estimates that the world would need an _additional_ 5 to 6 billion head of cattle to produce enough manure to fertilize that farmland. There are only an estimated 1.3 billion cattle on the planet today.

Combined, we'd need to chop down roughly half of the world's remaining forest to grow crops and to graze cattle that produce enough manure to fertilize those crops. Clearing that much land would produce around 500 billion tons of CO2, or almost as much as the total cumulative CO2 emissions of the world thus far. And the cattle needed to fertilize that land would produce far _more_ greenhouse gases, in the form of methane, than all of agriculture does today, possibly enough to equal all human greenhouse gases emitted from all sources today.

That's not a viable path. ~ Ramez Naam
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Ramez Naam
The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes. ~ Alfred Marshall
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Marshall
On one side you have book burners, Congressional wives and Pat Robertson. On the other side, you have vulgar comedians, foul-mouthed rap groups and Dennis Hopper - all your choices should be so easy. ~ Sandra Bernhard
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Sandra Bernhard
Raised in a completely nonreligious family, Joliot never attended any church and was a thoroughgoing atheist all his life. ~ Francis Perrin
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Francis Perrin
When asked about his apparent lack of anger toward the Chinese by an incredulous reporter at the time he won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Dalai Lama replied something to the effect that: They have taken everything from us; should I let them take my mind as well? ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Nature, red in tooth and claw. ~ Alfred Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Tennyson
We may regard the cell quite apart from its familiar morphological aspects, and contemplate its constitution from the purely chemical standpoint. We are obliged to adopt the view, that the protoplasm is equipped with certain atomic groups, whose function especially consists in fixing to themselves food-stuffs, of importance to the cell-life. Adopting the nomenclature of organic chemistry, these groups may be designated side-chains. We may assume that the protoplasm consists of a special executive centre (Leistungs-centrum) in connection with which are nutritive side-chains... The relationship of the corresponding groups, i.e., those of the food-stuff, and those of the cell, must be specific. They must be adapted to one another, as, e.g., male and female screw (Pasteur), or as lock and key (E. Fischer). ~ Paul R. Ehrlich
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Paul R. Ehrlich
If there is a Nobel prize for dirt and filth, India will win it, no doubt. ~ Jairam Ramesh
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Jairam Ramesh
Once in a golden hour, I cast to earth a seed, And up there grew a flower, That others called a weed. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book
it makes a very poor doorstop. ~ Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
In the absence of any short term in common use to represent all desirable things, or things that satisfy human wants, we may use the term Goods for that purpose. ~ Alfred Marshall
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Marshall
Nowadays, the work of Alfred Hitchcock is admired all over the world. Young people who are just discovering his art through the current rerelease of Rear Window and Vertigo, or through North by Northwest, may assume his prestige has always been recognized, but this is far from being the case.

In the fifties and sixties, Hitchcock was at the height of his creativity and popularity. He was, of course, famous due to the publicity masterminded by producer David O. Selznick during the six or seven years of their collaboration on such films as Rebecca, Notorious, Spellbound, and The Paradine Case.

His fame had spread further throughout the world via the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents in the mid-fifties. But American and European critics made him pay for his commercial success by reviewing his work with condescension, and by belittling each new film.
(...)
In examining his films, it was obvious that he had given more thought to the potential of his art than any of his colleagues. It occurred to me that if he would, for the first time, agree to respond seriously to a systematic questionnaire, the resulting document might modify the American critics' approach to Hitchcock.
That is what this book is all about. ~ Francois Truffaut
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Francois Truffaut
When I get home after being away for work, my wife always stuffs the fridge with loads of what she calls 'nibbles' - all the great things you can eat straight from the fridge, like chunks of cheese, slices of ham, bowls of hummus. ~ Alfred Molina
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Molina
Be near me when my light is low ... And all the wheels of being slow. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Take my assets - but leave me my organization and in five years I'll have it all back. ~ Alfred P. Sloan
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred P. Sloan
We cannot say that if a child is badly nourished he will become a criminal. We must see what conclusion the child has drawn. ~ Alfred Adler
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Adler
I think that the formation of [DNA's] structure by Watson and Crick may turn out to be the greatest developments in the field of molecular genetics in recent years. ~ Linus Pauling
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Linus Pauling
To his sister-in-law: What a contrast between us! You live a warm and glowing life, surrounded by loved ones whom you care for and who care for you; you are anchored in contentment. I drift about without rudder or compass, a wreck on the sea of life; I have no memories to cheer me, no pleasant illusions of the future to comfort me, or about me to satisfy my vanity. I have no family to furnish the only kind of survival that concerns us, no friends for the wholesome development of my affections, or enemies for my malice. ~ Alfred Nobel
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Nobel
There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing. ~ Sandra Bernhard
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Sandra Bernhard
The attitude of the true scientist towards the real limits of human understanding was unforgettably impressed on me in early youth by the obviously unpremeditated words of a great biologist; Alfred Kuhn finished a lecture to the Austrian Academy of Science with Goethe 's words, "It is the greatest joy of the man of thought to have explored the explorable and then calmly to revere the inexplorable." After the last word he hesitated, raised his hand in repudiation and cried, above the applause, "No, not calmly, gentlemen; not calmly ! ~ Konrad Lorenz
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Konrad Lorenz
Sometimes the memory of happiness cannot stay true because it ended unhappily.. ~ Bernhard Schlink
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Bernhard Schlink
A World Parliamentary Assembly functioning outside the United Nations, or a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly set up as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly pursuant to article 22 of the UN Charter, could start initially as a consultative body and gradually develop into a legislative assembly. ~ Alfred-Maurice De Zayas
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred-Maurice De Zayas
If I had not been discriminated against or had not suffered persecution, I would never have received the Nobel Prize. ~ Rita Levi-Montalcini
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Rita Levi-Montalcini
All failures - neurotics, psychotics, criminals, drunkards, problem children, suicides, perverts, and prostitutes - are failures because they are lacking in social interest ~ Alfred Adler
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Adler
In every age poets and social reformers have tried to stimulate the people of their own time to a nobler life by enchanting stories of the virtues of the heroes of old. ~ Alfred Marshall
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Marshall
The madness of an autumn prairie cold front coming through ... ringing throughout the house was an alarm bell that no one but Alfred and Enid could hear directly. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Jonathan Franzen
In the Principia Mathematica, Bertrand Russell and Alfred Whitehead attempted to give a rigorous foundation to mathematics using formal logic as their basis. They began with what they considered to be axioms, and used those to derive theorems of increasing complexity. By page 362, they had established enough to prove 1 + 1 = 2. ~ Ted Chiang
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Ted Chiang
From my father, Alfred: Senza memoria vita non esiste.
(which in Italian means, without memory life does not exist) ~ Raymond F. Vennare
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Raymond F. Vennare
But it is a law of life and development in history where two national civilizations meet they fight for ascendancy. ~ Bernhard Von Bulow
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Bernhard Von Bulow
Man's achievements rest upon the use of symbols ... we must consider ourselves as a symbolic, semantic class of life, and those who rule the symbols, rule us. ~ Alfred Korzybski
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Korzybski
To quote Alfred Einstein: 'a follower tells, but a leader shows. ~ Peter Lerangis
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Peter Lerangis
You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear; To-morrow'll be the happiest time of all the glad New Year,- Of all the glad New Year, mother, the maddest, merriest day; For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be queen o' the May. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
On winning Literature Nobel Prize: I was actually in the street. Yes, I was in the street. It was my daughter who notified me. ~ Patrick Modiano
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Patrick Modiano
I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved. ~ Sandra Bernhard
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Sandra Bernhard
Hip doesn't really come into play anymore as far as I can tell. ~ Sandra Bernhard
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Sandra Bernhard
It is most unfortunate that researchers are crazy to build AI based autonomous weapons systems, without understanding that it can destroy humanity in totality. ~ Amit Ray
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Amit Ray
Papa Ubu: Yes, gentlemen, but however beautiful it may be, it can't compare with Poland. Because if there weren't any Poland, there wouldn't be any Poles! ~ Alfred Jarry
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Jarry
I think anyone who gets the Nobel Prize has to be a little bit embarrassed to be picked out when there have been so many people who have contributed. ~ Christopher A. Sims
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Christopher A. Sims
As love, if love be perfect, casts out fear, so hate, if hate be perfect, casts out fear. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Faith in the possibility of science, generated antecedently to the development of modern scientific theory, is an unconscious derivative from medieval theology. ~ Alfred North Whitehead
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Alfred North Whitehead
I am always hoping to do another CD. This atmosphere has been difficult. ~ Sandra Bernhard
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Sandra Bernhard
There was a moment, however, when the King and I were looking directly into each other's eyes, and in that instant I had a revelation that takes much longer to explain than to experience. Here am I, I reflected, being decorated as a hero, and in the eyes of everybody here I am indeed a hero; but I know that my heroic act was rather a dirty job I did when I was dreadfully frightened; I could just as easily have muddled it and been ingloriously killed. But it doesn't much matter, because people seem to need heroes; so long as I don't lose sight of the truth, it might as well be me as anyone else. And here before me stands a marvellously groomed little man who is pinning a hero's medal on me because some of his forebears were Alfred the Great, and Charles the First, and even King Arthur, for anything I know to the contrary. But I shouldn't be surprised if inside he feels as puzzled about the fate that brings him here as I. ~ Robertson Davies
Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes by Robertson Davies
I think if companies start reinventing themselves and focus on the customer experience more, they will win out in the end. ~ Alfred Lin
