Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
Suddenly, there was an enormous flash of light, the brightest light I have ever seen or that I think anyone has ever seen. It blasted; it pounced; it bored its way into you. It was a vision which was seen with more than the eye. It was seen to last forever. You would wish it would stop; altogether it lasted about two seconds.
[Witnessing the first atomic bomb test explosion.] ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi

Isidor quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray

There isn't a scientific community. It is a culture. It is a very undisciplined organization. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
As yet, if a man has no feeling for art he is considered narrow-minded, but if he has no feeling for science this is considered quite normal. This is a fundamental weakness. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
Most new insights come only after a superabundant accumulation of facts have removed the blindness which prevented us from seeing what later comes to be regarded as obvious. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
I think physicists are the Peter Pans of the human race. They never grow up and they keep their curiosity. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
We gave you an atomic bomb, what do you want, mermaids ? ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi

You know that, according to quantum theory, if two particles collide with enough energy you can, in principle, with an infinitesimal probability, produce two grand pianos. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
What are you reading?" " 'Ryder' by Greta Maloney," he said, closing the book and placing it back into his rucksack. "Any good?" I asked, wanting to find another subject to talk about other than my nightmare. "It's creepy," he smiled at me. ~ Tim O'Rourke
Isidor quotes by Tim O'Rourke
[Science is] a great game. It is inspiring and refreshing. The playing field is the universe itself. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
Physics is an otherworld thing, it requires a taste for things unseen, even unheard of- a high degree of abstraction ... These faculties die off somehow when you grow up ... profound curiosity happens when children are young. I think physicists are the Peter Pans of the human race ... Once you are sophisticated, you know too much- far too much. Pauli once said to me, "I know a great deal. I know too much. I am a quantum ancient.". ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
By midafternoon soft snow is falling, muffling four voices that rise from the cardinal points around the circle, north, south, east, and west,intoning names from registration lists obtained by Rainer from museum archives in Berlin--long lists that represent but tiny fractions of that fraction of new prisoners who survived, however briefly, the first selections on this platform and were tattooed with small blue numbers. The impeccable lists include city and country of origin, arrival date, and date of death, not infrequently on that same day or the next.

Column after column, page after page, of the more common family names ascend softly from the circle of still figures to be borne away on gusts of wind-whirled snow. Schwartz, Herschel; Schwartz, Isaac A.; Schwartz, Isaac D.; Schwartz, Isidor--Who? Isidor? You too? The voices are all but inaudible as befits snuffed-out identities that exist only on lists, with no more reality than forgotten faces in old photo albums--Who's this bald guy in the back? Stray faces of no more significance than wind fragments of these names of long ago, of no more substance than this snowflake poised one moment on his pen before dissolving into voids beyond all Knowing. In Paradise 87-88 ~ Peter Matthiessen
Isidor quotes by Peter Matthiessen
To me, science is an expression of the human spirit, which reaches every sphere of human culture. It gives an aim and meaning to existence as well as a knowledge, understanding, love, and admiration for the world. It gives a deeper meaning to morality and another dimension to esthetics. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school, So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. Izzy, she would say, did you ask a good question today? That difference - asking good questions - made me become a scientist. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isidor quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
It was eerie. I saw myself in that machine. I never thought my work would come to this. ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
