Paul Feyerabend
#25. Everything that we perceive around us is struggling towards freedom, from the atom to the man, from the insentient, lifeless particle of matter to the highest existence on earth, the human soul. The whole universe is in fact the result of this struggle for freedom.

Julie Berry
#32. An example of this is, when the simple propositions are connected by the particle or; as, either A is B or C is D; or by the particle if; as, A is B if C is D. In the former case, the proposition is called disjunctive, in the latter, conditional: the name hypothetical was originally common to both.
John Stuart Mill
#33. Supersymmetry is a theory which stipulates that for every known particle there should be a partner particle. For instance, the electron should be paired with a supersymmetric 'selectron,' quarks ought to have 'squark' partners, and so on.

Mahmud Shabistari
#36. When you trace a particle back to its origins, you find that it's nothing but pure energy. All of us come from this energy field.
Wayne Dyer
#37. The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all falls apart. You have to fudge the figures to make it work.

Avtarjeet Singh Dhanjal
#44. The less we understand of what our fathers and forefathers sought, the less we understand ourselves, and thus we help with all our might to rob the individual of his roots and his guiding instincts, so that he becomes a particle in the mass, ruled only by what Nietzsche called the spirit of gravity.
C. G. Jung
#45. The universe is a quantum computer. Since you can simulate any set of particle interactions with a quantum computer made of the same number of particles, then there's no practical difference between the universe and a quantum computer simulating the universe.

Cristina Henriquez
#78. Many fungal diseases, like aspergillosis or coccidioidomycosis, start when you inhale a small fungal particle called a spore. The spore settles in the lung, where it begins to grow and divide. The ball of fungus grows larger and larger and can eventually make it difficult to breathe.
Jennifer Gardy
#79. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together.

#83. Tapestries are made by many artisans working together. The contributions of separate workers cannot be discerned in the completed work, and the loose and false threads have been covered over. So it is in our picture of particle physics.
Sheldon L. Glashow
#84. Jumping from failure to failure with undiminished enthusiasm is the big secret to success.
Savas Dimopoulos
#85. Fiction is an elemental force, which has the power to shape reality in its own image - or images, I should say - because reality, like light, exists not only as a single point or particle, but also as an array of possibilities.
Ruth Ozeki
#86. Experiments suggest that if one particle of Ebola enters a person's bloodstream, it can cause a fatal infection. This may explain why many of the medical workers who came down with Ebola couldn't remember making any mistakes that might have exposed them.
