At Arcueil ... I dined in distinguished company ... There was a lot of very interesting discussion. It is these gatherings which are the joy of life. ~ Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
If one were not animated with the desire to discover laws, they would escape the most enlightened attention. ~ Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
We all teach ... the chemistry of Lavoisier and Gay-Lussac. ~ Marcellin Berthelot
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Marcellin Berthelot
Gay-Lussac was quick, lively, ingenious and profound, with great activity of mind and great facility of manipulation. I should place him at the head of all the living chemists in France. ~ Humphry Davy
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Humphry Davy
We are perhaps not far removed from the time when we shall be able to submit the bulk of chemical phenomena to calculation. ~ Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Compounds of gaseous substances with each other are always formed in very simple ratios, so that representing one of the terms by unity, the other is 1, 2, or at most 3 ... The apparent contraction of volume suffered by gas on combination is also very simply related to the volume of one of them. ~ Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
A religion that executes its obsolete sovereign must now establish the power of its new sovereign; it
closes the churches, and this leads to an endeavor to build a temple. The blood of the gods, which for a
second bespatters the confessor of Louis XVI, announces a new baptism. Joseph de Maistre qualified the
Revolution as satanic. We can see why and in what sense. Michelet, however, was closer to the truth
when he called it a purgatory. An era blindly embarks down this tunnel on an attempt to discover a new
illumination, a new happiness, and the face of the real God. But what will this new god be? ~ Albert Camus
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Albert Camus
As long as algebra and geometry have been separated, their progress have been slow and their uses limited; but when these two sciences have been united, they have lent each mutual forces, and have marched together towards perfection. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
If I had inherited a fortune I should probably not have cast my lot with mathematics. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
In the course of an extended investigation into the nature of inflammation, and the healthy and morbid conditions of the blood in relation to it, I arrived several years ago at the conclusion that the essential cause of suppuration in wounds is decomposition brought about by the influence of the atmosphere upon blood or serum retained within them, and, in the case of contused wounds, upon portions of tissue destroyed by the violence of the injury.

To prevent the occurrence of suppuration with all its attendant risks was an object manifestly desirable, but till lately apparently unattainable, since it seemed hopeless to attempt to exclude the oxygen which was universally regarded as the agent by which putrefaction was effected. But when it had been shown by the researches of Pasteur that the septic properties of the atmosphere depended not on the oxygen, or any gaseous constituent, but on minute organisms suspended in it, which owed their energy to their vitality, it occurred to me that decomposition in the injured part might be avoided without excluding the air, by applying as a dressing some material capable of destroying the life of the floating particles. ~ Joseph Lister
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Lister
There can be no fairer ambition than to excel in talk; to be affable, gay, ready, clear, and welcome. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Lagrange, in one of the later years of his life, imagined that he had overcome the difficulty (of the parallel axiom). He went so far as to write a paper, which he took with him to the Institute, and began to read it. But in the first paragraph something struck him that he had not observed: he muttered: 'Il faut que j'y songe encore', and put the paper in his pocket.' [I must think about it again]. ~ Augustus De Morgan
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Augustus De Morgan
"Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed, and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish." ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
It took the mob only a moment to remove his head; a century will not suffice to reproduce it. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
I'm gay. It's pretty unfortunate. ~ Louis Tomlinson
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Louis Tomlinson
Lister saw the vast importance of the discoveries of Pasteur. He saw it because he was watching on the heights, and he was watching there alone. ~ Thomas Clifford Allbutt
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Thomas Clifford Allbutt
I got a job at Metro and went in to see Louis Mayer, who told me he wanted me to be a producer. I said I wanted to write and direct. He said, No, you have to produce first, you have to crawl before you can walk. Which is as good a definition of producing as I ever heard. ~ Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
When one day Lagrange took out of his pocket a paper which he read at the Académe, and which contained a demonstration of the famous Postulatum of Euclid, relative to the theory of parallels. This demonstration rested on an obvious paralogism, which appeared as such to everybody; and probably Lagrange also recognised it such during his lecture. For, when he had finished, he put the paper back in his pocket, and spoke no more of it. A moment of universal silence followed, and one passed immediately to other concerns. ~ Jean-Baptiste Biot
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Jean-Baptiste Biot
But when it has been shown by the researches of Pasteur that the septic property of the atmosphere depended not on the oxygen, or any gaseous constituent, but on minute organisms suspended in it, which owed their energy to their vitality, it occurred to me that decomposition in the injured part might be avoided without excluding the air, by applying as a dressing some material capable of destroying the life of the floating particles. Upon this principle I have based a practice. ~ Joseph Lister
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Lister
The ordinary operations of algebra suffice to resolve problems in the theory of curves. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
{Comment to Delambre on chemist Antoine Lavoisier's execution during the French Revolution}

Only a moment to cut off that head and a hundred years may not give us another like it. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Because if I were gay, [and] I'm not gay yet - maybe one day - but if I were gay, I'd like to see movies where homosexuality isn't always a problem. ~ Louis Garrel
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Louis Garrel
It is a matter for considerable regret that Fermat, who cultivated the theory of numbers with so much success, did not leave us with the proofs of the theorems he discovered. In truth, Messrs Euler and Lagrange, who have not disdained this kind of research, have proved most of these theorems, and have even substituted extensive theories for the isolated propositions of Fermat. But there are several proofs which have resisted their efforts. ~ Adrien-Marie Legendre
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Adrien-Marie Legendre
I regarded as quite useless the reading of large treatises of pure analysis: too large a number of methods pass at once before the eyes. It is in the works of application that one must study them; one judges their utility there and appraises the manner of making use of them. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Actually, what we really need to remember about Galileo is that most of the people who use his name in argument could barely spell it, let alone tell us what actually happened to the man. His case is used over and over again because critics can't think of any other scientists who were mistreated by the Church. And in this instance they're right. There may have been some people in the scientific world who did not enjoy Church support and were even challenged by Catholicism but, sorry to disappoint, there weren't very many of them. The Church has been the handmaiden of science and scientific discovery, and those who refer to Galileo tend to forget that Louis Pasteur, the inventor of pasteurization, was a devout Catholic, as was Alexander Fleming, who gave us penicillin. Or Father Nicolaus Copernicus, who first proposed the theory of the earth revolving around the sun - this was precisely what Galileo stated, but Copernicus taught it as theory and not fact. Or Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Leuven, who proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe. In the field of acceleration, Fr. Giambattista Riccioli changed the way we understand that particular science; the father of modern Egyptology was Fr. Athanasius Kircher, and the Yugoslavian Fr. Roger Boscovich was the founder of modern atomic theory. ~ Michael Coren
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Michael Coren
Spinoza was a pantheist: He believed that God was within nature, not a separate Being with an independent will. "In Spinoza's system," Jewish philosopher Louis Jacobs has written, "God and Nature are treated as different names for the same thing. God is not 'outside' or apart from Nature. He did not create Nature but is Nature." This doctrine set Spinoza at loggerheads with both Judaism and Christianity. It was absurd in his view to credit God with attributes such as will or intellect; that was like demanding that Sirius bark, just because people refer to it as the Dog Star. Spinoza tried to posit a system of ethics based on reason, not supernatural revelation. ~ Joseph Telushkin
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Telushkin
Over the years, I found myself traveling parts of the Lewis and Clark Trail, putting my hands in the river where they set out from St. Louis, viewing the Great Falls of Montana, standing by the same Pacific Ocean they saw with such joy. ~ Joseph Bruchac
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Bruchac
Analytical philosophy was very interesting. It always struck me as being very interesting and full of tremendous intellectual curiosities. It is wonderful to see the mind at work in such an
intense manner, but, for me, it was still too far removed from my own issues. ~ Joseph Conrad
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Conrad
Gay people should be allowed to get married. Just because somebody's gay doesn't mean he shouldn't suffer like the rest of us ~ Jeff Shaw
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Jeff Shaw
Christianity was preached by ignorant men and believed by servants, and that is why it resembles nothing ever known. ~ Joseph De Maistre
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph De Maistre
I did think Justice [Antony] Kennedy's opinion on Lawrence was critical to that because it really, what Lawrence in one sense was, of course, about consensual sex being something that the government can't regulate. But really in a more fundamental sense, what it was saying, "Look. Gay people are normal people, and they get to live normal lives. They're not criminals by virtue of the fact of being gay." ~ Donald Verrilli Jr.
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Donald Verrilli Jr.
If I teach you reading and writing, I'm warning you I've got to hit you on the head and call you bad names when you're stupid, because that's how you do teaching. ~ Louis De Bernieres
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Louis De Bernieres
As an artist in the 1960s, Norman Sunshine was able to maintain a moderately out lifestyle. But when the first exhibition of his paintings in New York brought on a profile in The New York Times in 1968, he was photographed in the apartment that he admitted sharing with Shayne. At both his advertising agency and Shayne's television production company, the article was met with absolute silence. ~ Alan Shayne
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Alan Shayne
[Looking like a straight girl] means wearing clothes that seek and destroy comfort. These are garments designed by gay men to attract heterosexual men. The straight girl is simply the hanger for an inside joke. ~ Mary Dugger
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Mary Dugger
My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over. ~ Joseph P. Kennedy III
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph P. Kennedy III
Too often she had listened to her father discourse on the necessity for peace and consideration of others. She believed in that policy wholeheartedly. The fact that occasionally violence was necessary did not alter her convictions one whit. No system of philosophy or ethics, no growth of goverenment, no improvement in living came without trial and struggle. Struggle, she had often heard her father say, was the law of growth. Without giving too much thought to it, she understood that such men as Rafe Caradec, Trigger Boyne, Tex Brisco and others of their ilk were needed. For all their violence, their occasional heedlessness and their desire to go their own way, they were building a new world in a rough and violent land where everything tended to extremes. Mountains were high, the praires wide, the streams roaring, the buffalo by the thousand, and tens of thousand. It was a land where nothing was small, nothing was simple. Everything, the lives of men and the stories they told, ran to extremes. ~ Louis L'Amour
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Louis L'Amour
My taste runs to hourglasses, maps, seventeenth-century typefaces, etymologies, the taste of coffee, and the prose of Robert Louis Stevenson. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
It is the property of things seen for the first time, or for the first time after long, like the flowers in spring, to reawaken in us the sharp edge of sense and that impression of mystic strangeness which otherwise passes out of life with the coming of years; but the sight of a loved face is what renews a man's character from the fountain upwards. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Riches are apt to betray a man into arrogance. ~ Joseph Addison
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Addison
A lot of writers ... sit in a log cabin by the lake and put their feet up by the fire in the silence and write. If you can have that that's all very well, but the true writer will learn to write anywhere
even in prison. ~ Louis Auchincloss
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Louis Auchincloss
Joy is in the ears that hear, not in the mouth that speaks. The world has few stories glad in themselves, and we must have gay ears to defy Despite"

Foamfollower from (Lord Foul's Bane; 1977) ~ Stephen R. Donaldson
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Stephen R. Donaldson
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. ~ Joseph Campbell
Joseph Louis Gay Lussac quotes by Joseph Campbell
Women are always anxious to urge bachelors to matrimony; is it from charity, or revenge ?. ~ Louis Gustave Vapereau
