Famous quotes containing the words wet and/or chemistry:

“To Meath of the pastures,
From wet hills by the sea,
Through Leitrim and Longford,
Go my cattle and me.”
—Padraic Colum (1881–1972)

“Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
