Single Particle States

Famous quotes containing the words single, particle and/or states:

    Tired,
    she looked up the path
    her lover would take
    as far as her eyes could see.
    On the roads,
    traffic ceased
    at the end of day
    as night slid over the sky.
    The traveller’s pained wife
    took a single step towards home,
    said, “Could he not have come at this instant?”
    and quickly craning her neck around,
    looked up the path again.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    You don’t hold any mystery for me, darling, do you mind? There isn’t a particle of you that I don’t know, remember, and want.

    Courage, then, for the end draws near! A few more years of persistent, faithful work and the women of the United States will be recognized as the legal equals of men.
