Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons. -- John Polkinghorne
Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional; you have to let them know who's boss. -- Robert A. Heinlein
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons; they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way... -- Richard P. Feynman
In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino. -- Frederick Reines
I believe there are 15, 747, 724, 136, 275, 002, 577, 605, 653, 961, 181, 555, 468, 044, 717, 914, 527, 116, 709, 366, 231, 425, 076, 185, 631, 031, 296 protons in the universe and the same number of electrons. -- Arthur Eddington
All that glitters may not be gold, but at least it contains free electrons. -- John Desmond Bernal
Digital wisdom is made of recycled electrons that are meaningful until you pull the plug. -- Don Rittner
...where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united... -- D. H. Lawrence
Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking. -- Dave Barry
My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946. -- Henry Taube
My project was radiation damage of Si and Ge by energetic electrons, critical for the use of the recently developed semiconductor devices for applications in outer space. -- Walter Kohn
The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer. -- Johannes Stark
On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to a single spectral line, it suffices to assume that each atom (or molecule) contains a single moving electron. -- Pieter Zeeman
We have shown that it is possible to create a radioactivity characterized by the emission of positive or negative electrons in boron and magnesium by bombardment with alpha rays. -- Irene Joliot-Curie
Without electrons, there is no Google. And without clean electrons, there will be no Google customers, since we'll all be too busy fleeing from rising seas, droughts, and disease. -- Jeff Goodell
We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached. -- Johannes Stark
The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron. -- Pieter Zeeman
Words have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbits and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used. -- David Lehman

It was at the beginning of 1934 while working on the emission of these positive electrons that we noticed a fundamental difference between that transmutation and all the others so far produced; all the reactions of nuclear chemistry induced were instantaneous phenomena, explosions. -- Irene Joliot-Curie
According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined. -- Pieter Zeeman
It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space -- Clifford D. Simak

In size the electron bears the same relation to an atom that a baseball bears to the earth. Or, as Sir Oliver Lodge puts it, if a hydrogen atom were magnified to the size of a church, an electron would be a speck of dust in that church. -- Waldemar Kaempffert
I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it. -- Albert Einstein
You know how on Christmas day, the day feels different, even if you're just sitting in your chair waiting for your girlfriend to put her face on and you haven't even started any of the festivities yet, the day still feels different. The electrons are fatter and pushier. -- Bill Callahan
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before. -- Richard P. Feynman
We may say that a basic substance is one which has a lone pair of electrons which may be used to complete the stable group of another atom, and that an acid is one which can employ a lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms. -- Gilbert Newton Lewis

There can never be two or more equivalent electrons in an atom, for which in a strong field the values of all the quantum numbers n, k1, k2 and m are the same. If an electron is present, for which these quantum numbers (in an external field) have definite values, then this state is 'occupied.' -- Wolfgang Pauli
If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no'. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer
But it is necessary to insist more strongly than usual that what I am putting before you is a model-the Bohr model atom-because later I shall take you to a profounder level of representation in which the electron instead of being confined to a particular locality is distributed in a sort of probability haze all over the atom. -- Arthur Eddington
I've got all my old laptops going back to my first, which was so fancy at the time, in '93 or '94, but now it's just like a doorstop. One day I said, 'I'll go in and get all my old documents in there.' The cords and the wires are all gone, the discettes you need are gone. Meanwhile the little electrons are starting to wither away. -- Douglas Coupland
Keep your drunken electrons dancing! -- Judith Hanson Lasater
Protons give an atom its identity, electrons its personality. -- Bill Bryson
The universe consists of 5% protons, 5% neutrons, 5% electrons and 85% morons. -- Frank Zappa
The cost of electrons and photons is getting cheaper all the time! -- T. Gilling
As I have often said, electrons and gerbils don't cheat. People do. -- Martin Gardner
People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. -- Neil Gaiman
How do we get from electrons to elections and from protons to presidents? -- John Searle
There are many ways of knocking electrons out of atoms. The simplest is to rub two surfaces together. -- Fred Hoyle
Nothing happens until something moves. When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. -- Albert Einstein
Red and raw like my brain, unable to shut down, thoughts crashing like electrons orbiting a nucleus of deuling emotions. -- Ellen Hopkins
It is the fact that the electrons cannot all get on top of each other that makes tables and everything else solid. -- Richard P. Feynman
No two electrons in the same state? That is why atoms are so unnecessarily big, and why metal and stone are so bulky. -- Paul Ehrenfest
Yes, Jenna, I love you with all my heart. And with my atoms and molecules and electrons and whatever further breakdown you require. -- Sharon Shinn
Not sense data or atoms or electrons or packets of energy, but purposes, interests, and meanings, constitute the underlying facts of human experience. -- Lewis Mumford
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular. -- Werner Heisenberg
Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking -- Dave Barry
I can't imagine the scientists wanting me to walk into the lab and start fiddling around with some big bowl of electrons they had out. -- Jim Benton
Thought is the primary energy and vibration that emanated from God and is thus the creator of life, electrons, atoms, and all forms of energy. -- Paramahansa Yogananda
Joy is big. Joy lives in your own drunken electrons, billions of them, spinning and dancing without end in their own intimate Universe, longing for You. -- Judith Hanson Lasater
The Exclusion Principle is laid down purely for the benefit of the electrons themselves, who might be corrupted (and become dragons or demons) if allowed to associate too freely. -- Alan Turing
It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. -- Kristian Birkeland
The only way to look at men is like they're electrons. They have all these charges sticking out, and they're always looking for a hole where they can put those charges. -- Candace Bushnell
An electron is an electron, but you can decide where to send your electric-bill payment. You can't redirect the electrons, but you can your dollars. The dollars will drive generation choices. -- Ralph Cavanagh
An electron is no more (and no less) hypothetical than a star. Nowadays we count electrons one by one in a Geiger counter, as we count the stars one by one on a photographic plate. -- Arthur Eddington
Even a vortex is a vortex in something. You can't have a whirlpool without water; and you can't have a vortex without gas, or molecules or atoms or ions or electrons or something, not nothing. -- George Bernard Shaw
It is exciting to discover electrons and figure out the equations that govern their movement; it is boring to use those principles to design electric can openers. From here on out, it's all can openers. -- Neal Stephenson
