Valence Bond Approach

Famous quotes containing the words bond and/or approach:

Were then made for me; bond unknown to me
Was given, that I should be, else sinning greatly,
A dedicated Spirit.”

“Fishermen, hunters, woodchoppers, and others, spending their lives in the fields and woods, in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves, are often in a more favorable mood for observing her, in the intervals of their pursuits, than philosophers or poets even, who approach her with expectation. She is not afraid to exhibit herself to them.”
