Nucleus Parity

Famous quotes containing the words nucleus and/or parity:

“I could not undertake to form a nucleus of an institution for the development of infant minds, where none already existed. It would be too cruel.”

“The U.S. is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father.
