I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
When the elements are arranged in vertical columns according to increasing atomic weight, so that the horizontal lines contain analogous elements again according to increasing atomic weight, an arrangement results from which several general conclusions may be drawn. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
For the first time I saw a medley of haphazard facts fall into line and order. All the jumbles and recipes and hotchpotch of the inorganic chemistry of my boyhood seemed to fit into the scheme before my eyes - as though one were standing beside a jungle and it suddenly transformed itself into a Dutch garden.
[Upon hearing the Periodic Table explained in a first-tern university lecture.] ~ C.P. Snow
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by C.P. Snow
I have achieved an inner freedom. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
We could live at the present day without a Plato, but a double number of Newtons is required to discover the secrets of nature, and to bring life into harmony with the laws of nature. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
The edifice of science not only requires material, but also a plan. Without the material, the plan alone is but a castle in the air-a mere possibility; whilst the material without a plan is but useless matter. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
If all the elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights, a periodic repetition of properties is obtained. This is expressed by the law of periodicity. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
There is nothing in this world that I fear to say.
~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
Knowing how contented, free, and joyful is life in the world of science, one fervently wishes that many would enter its portals. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
Work, look for peace and calm in work: you will find it nowhere else. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
No one nor anything can silence me. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
I want you to have this feeling too - it is my moral responsibility to help you achieve this inner freedom. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
Pleasures flit by - they are only for yourself; work leaves a mark of long-lasting joy, work is for others. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
Why do they [Americans] quarrel, why do they hate Negroes, Indians, even Germans, why do they not have science and poetry commensurate with themselves, why are there so many frauds and so much nonsense? I cannot soon give a solution to these questions ... It was clear that in the United States there was a development not of the best, but of the middle and worst sides of European civilization; the notorious general voting, the tendency to politics ... all the same as in Europe. A new dawn is not to be seen on this side of the ocean. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
The establishment of a law, moreover, does not take place when the first thought of it takes form, or even when its significance is recognised, but only when it has been confirmed by the results of the experiment. ~ Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
I don't think that either self-deprecation or self-aggrandizement is among the defining qualities of an artist ... Beethoven could have been forgiven if his symphonies had gone to his head. Gretchaninoff could also be forgiven if his Dobrinya Nikititch went to his head. But neither one could be forgiven for writing a piece that was amoral, servile, the work of a flunky. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
For his part, Mendeleev scanned Lecoq de Boisbaudran's data on gallium and told the experimentalist, with no justification, that he must have measured something wrong, because the density and weight of gallium differed from Mendeleev's predictions. This betrays a flabbergasting amount of gall, but as science philosopher-historian Eric Scerri put it, Mendeleev always "was willing to bend nature to fit his grand philosophical scheme." The only difference between Mendeleev and crackpottery is that Mendeleev was right: Lecoq de Boisbaudran soon retracted his data and published results that corroborated Mendeleev's predictions. ~ Sam Kean
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Sam Kean
Torture is a good way to get people to talk but a poor method of finding out the truth; people confess whether there is any reality to the confession or not.

-Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad ~ M T Anderson
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by M T Anderson
If they drive God from earth, we shall shelter him underground - Dmitri Karamazov ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
In my time," he said, "they believed in witches. Are you a witch, Honor, that you make me say these things to you?"
Causing him to rip open wounds that had stayed safely scabbed over for so long that, most of the time, he managed to forget they existed.
Her hands, so very, very gentle, continued to hold his face as she tugged him down until their foreheads touched.
"I'm no witch, Dmitri. If I was, I'd know how to fix you. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
Elena scowled - the day she let Dmitri give her orders was the day ice-skating became a regular activity in hell. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
Studying Mahler changed many things in my tastes as a composer. Mahler & Berg are my favourite composers even today, as opposed to Hindemith, say, a Krenek and Milhaud whom I liked when I was young but cooled towards rapidly. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.
The Brothers Karamazov
Mitya (Dmitri) to Aloysha who visits him in prison, Book XI - Ivan, Chapter 4 - A Hymn and a Secret. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The truth is that the war helped. The war brought great sorrow and made life very very hard. Much sorrow, many tears. But it had been even harder before the war, because then everyone was alone in his sorrow. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
I was a guest in the home of a conductor when I was in my early twenties. They turned on the gramophone and played a popular record of a foxtrot. I liked the foxtrot, but I didn't like the way it was played. I confided my opinion to the host, who suddenly said, 'Ah, so you don't like the way it's played? All right, if you want, write down the number by heart and orchestrate it and I'll play it. That is, of course, if you can do it and in a given amount of time: I'm giving you an hour. if you're really a genius, you should be able to write it in an hour.' I did it in 45 minutes. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
That was the choice that Father Dmitri was given. As a Russian, he wanted to support Russia. As a Christian, he wanted to the oppose the Soviet Union. But, if he opposed the Soviet Union, he was allying with foreigners and thus fighting against Russia. He had to choose, therefore, between his religion and his country and he chose his country. That was how he himself justified his choice. ~ Oliver Bullough
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Oliver Bullough
Naasir stretched lazily before settling back into his previous position. "I'm old enough now, and I want someone to play with like you play with Janvier and Raphael does with Elena. Even Dmitri plays with Honor." This seemed to fascinate him. "The rules are secret in each game. I want to have secret rules with a woman who . . ." A long pause. "A woman who knows me, understands what I am, and who wants to have secret rules with me. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
Sara held up a hand. 'How exactly did you "decline" his offer?'
'By slitting his throat. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
So many unsaid things collect in the soul, so much exhaustion and irritation lie as a heavy burden on the psyche. And you must, you must unburden your spiritual world or risk a collapse. Sometimes you feel like screaming, but you control yourself and just babble some nonsense. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Real music is always revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
I don't think that Prokofiev ever treated me seriously as a composer; he considered only Stravinsky a rival and never missed a chance to take a shot at him. I remember once he started telling me some vile story about Stravinsky. I cut him off. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Fine. But remember, little rabbit, not a word to anyone." He moved close enough that the dark heat of him lapped against her in a quiet threat that made her glad for the blade. "I'm not a nice man when I'm angry."
She held her position, a ragged attempt to erase the humiliation of the panic attack. "I'm fairly certain you're not a nice man at all."
His answer was a slow smile that whispered of silk sheets, erotic whispers, and sweat-damp skin. The unhidden intent of it had her heart slamming hard against her ribs. "No" she said. Voice raw.
"A challenge." He wasn't touching her and yet she felt caressed by a thousand ropes of fur, soft and lush and unmistakably sexual. "I accept ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
You're not useless. You're a hunky bite of sex and I'm not sure if Dmitri swings both ways. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
A flaw does not make a man worthless," Raphael had once said to Dmitri. "Else I would've been discarded long ago. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
While Dmitri, as the leader of Raphael's Seven, could not accept such a weakness, the mortal he'd once been, the one who had loved a woman with a wide mouth and eyes of slanted brown ... that man understood what it was to love so deeply it was a kind of beautiful madness. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
When he'd been younger and first starting to feel the urge to rut with females - and before he'd grown up to the point where many of the opposite sex found him irresistible - he'd tried to court girls by bringing them meat and shiny things. It turned out he'd scared them.
"Most women and girls," Dmitri had told him, "don't know what to do when a man drops a hunk of raw meat in their hands. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
The scent of the sea, a wild turbulent storm, crashing into her mind.
Elena, why is Dmitri naked? ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
Dmitri was in my arms. ~ Richelle Mead
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Richelle Mead
It had only been two days – two days – since he'd seen her last, and yet he'd missed her every step of the way. How was that possible? To miss someone you'd scarcely had in your life at all? For all his knowledge, he had no answer, only knew that every moment spent by her side made it that much more difficult to leave again. To accept the incoming battering of noise, the necessary barrenness of his life. The loneliness.

He could hear the music of her voice so clearly as she spoke now, every inflection, every intonation. And the world around them, too – birds on the wing and children laughing. Her presence was a continual surprise, one that made him by turns calm and edgy and covetous. And mindful, his responsibilities, self-appointed though they were, crowding back into his mind on a silent sigh. The Descent was still closing in on him, and Dmitri still lived, which meant there was too much left to do and no time for distraction. But still... ~ Angela B. Wade
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Angela B. Wade
He asked me, "Young man, do you love art? Great, lofty, immortal art?" I felt uncomfortable, and I replied that I did. That was a fatal mistake, because Volynsky put it this way: "If you love art, young man, how can you talk to me now about filthy lucre?"
He gave me a beautiful speech, itself an example of high art. It was passionate, inspired, a speech about great immortal art, and its point was that I shouldn't ask Volynsky for my pay. In doing so I defiled art, he explained, bringing it down to my level of crudity, avarice, and greed. Art was endangered. It could perish if I pressed my outrageous demands.
I tried to tell him that I needed the money. He replied that he couldn't imagine or understand how a man of the arts could be capable of speaking about such trivial aspects of life. He tried to shame me. But I held my own. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
What galls me is that these sadists always have fans and followers-- and sincere ones at that. The typical example of this is Toscanini. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Music is good, not evil. Poetry is good, not evil. Primitive, but oh, so true! ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
You refused to fall in love with anyone else, Dmitri." A whisper with the impact of a gun-shot. "So I had to come back for you ... husband. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
I do write quickly, that's true, but I think about my music for a comparatively long time, and until it's complete in my head I don't begin setting it down. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Когда рыжеволосый Самозванец
Тебя схватил - ты не согнула плеч.
Где спесь твоя, княгинюшка? - Румянец,
Красавица? - Разумница, - где речь?

Как Пётр-Царь, презрев закон сыновний,
Позарился на голову твою -
Боярыней Морозовой на дровнях
Ты отвечала Русскому Царю.

Не позабыли огненного пойла
Буонапарта хладные уста.
Не в первый раз в твоих соборах - стойла.
Всё вынесут кремлёвские бока.

9 декабря 1917



When the red-haired impostor, fell Dmitri,
laid hold of you, you did not bow the knee.
Where is your pride, my princess? - Where, my beauty?
The rosy cheeks? the voice once wise and free?

And when Tsar Peter, coveting your beauty,
made to ride roughshod over filial law -
Morozova showed you the path of duty:
she was your answer to the Russian Tsar.

And Bonaparte's cold lips cannot forget still
The fiery draught you set before him then.
Once more now your cathedrals serve for stables.
The Kremlin's flanks will soldier to the end. ~ Marina Tsvetaeva
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Marina Tsvetaeva
When a man is in despair, it means that he still believes in something. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Of course they understood, they understood what was happening around them and they understood what the Fifth [Symphony] was about. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Do not steal what only has value if freely given. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
When Naasir was yet a child, Dmitri had told him he must learn as many languages as possible, so no one could keep secrets from him. This wasn't the first time that advice had held Naasir in good stead. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
People knew about Babi Yar before Yevtushenko 's poem, but they were silent. And when they read the poem, the silence was broken. Art destroys silence. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
I'm training my left hand to write, in case I lose the ability in my right. That's gymnastics for the dying. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri was at a total loss. It was a common reaction for people when I agreed to do something reasonable. ~ Richelle Mead
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Richelle Mead
Most people are average, neither black nor white, but grey. A dirty shade of grey. To the best of my ability I tried to write about these people, about their completely average, commonplace dreams and hopes, and about their suspicious tendency towards murder. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
I'll admit that writing doesn't always come, but I'm totally against walking around looking at the sky when you're experiencing a block, waiting for inspiration to strike you. Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov didn't like each other and agreed on very few things, but they were of one opinion on this: you had to write constantly. If you can't write a major work, write minor trifles. If you can't write at all, orchestrate something. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Do you know where Jason is?" she asked Dmitri when they exited the morgue. Dmitri pressed the car remote to unlock the flame red Ferrari parked in the employees-only lot. "Tired of your Bluebell already?" A tendril of champagne circled around her senses, cut with something far harder. Never had she felt that harsh edge in Dmitri's scent. She pitied the woman he took to his bed today.
"Yeah, that's it. I'm building a harem. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
I always try to make myself as widely understood as possible; and if I don't succeed, I consider it my own fault. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. ~ Dmitri A. Borgmann
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri A. Borgmann
Who cannot sympathize with the imprisoned Dmitri Karamazov as he tries to make sense of what he has just learned from a visiting academic?

"Imagine: inside, in the nerves, in the head - that is, these nerves are there in the brain ... (damn them!) there are sort of little tails, the little tails of those nerves, and as soon as they begin quivering ... that is, you see, I look at something with my eyes and then they begin quivering, those little tails ... and when they quiver, then an image appears ... it doesn't appear at once, but an instant, a second, passes ... and then something like a moment appears; that is, not a moment - devil take the moment! - but an image; that is, an object, or an action, damn it! That's why I see and then think, because of those tails, not at all because I've got a soul, and that I am some sort of image and likeness. All that is nonsense! Rakitin explained it all to me yesterday, brother, and it simply bowled me over. It's magnificent, Alyosha, this science! A new man's arising - that I understand.... And yet I am sorry to lose God!"

Dostoevsky's prescience is itself astonishing, because in 1880 only the rudiments of neural functioning were understood, and a reasonable person could have doubted that all experience arises from quivering nerve tails. But no longer. One can say that the information-processing activity of the brain causes the mind, or one can say that it is the mind, but in either case the evidence is ov ~ Steven Pinker
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Steven Pinker
Football is the ballet of the masses. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri clearly gives good . . . blood. ~ Nalini Singh
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Nalini Singh
A fresh approach to a work of music (...) usually comes to those who have a fresh approach to aspects of life, to life in general. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Mendeleev quotes by Dmitri Shostakovich
Stravinsky is one of the greatest composers of our time and I truly love many of his works. ( ... ) The marvellous composer has invariably been at the centre of my attention, and I not only studied and listened to his music, but I played it and made my own transcriptions as well. ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
