  • There's always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that's pretty good. You want players that will help. -- Jason Kidd
  • Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment. -- Robert Collier
  • To demonstrate this simultaneity is by no means trivial, because it may for example happen that the product nucleus always forms in an activated state at first. -- Walther Bothe
  • In this case, the particle formed has correspondingly less energy, whereas the product nucleus passes into the ground state with emission of the quantity of energy saved as gamma radiation. -- Walther Bothe
  • We had built up a team in Edmonton that really knew who each other was from a personal standpoint and from a professional standpoint. Our nucleus had stayed together for a long time. -- Mark Messier
  • It is, I claim, nonsense to say that it does not matter which individual man acted as the nucleus for the change. It is precisely this that makes history unpredictable into the future. -- Gregory Bateson
  • There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect; it bids a man to ponder or create; and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide. -- Norman Douglas
  • The most terrifying thing I can think of is being alone - and I mean utterly alone, like no one else in the world alone - at night. That's the nucleus of the first story in my collection and it's also where the title came from for the book. -- Paul Kane
  • I understand culture. I am the nucleus. -- Kanye West
  • The family is the nucleus of civilization. -- Will Durant
  • Nuclear transplantation is a technique that has enormously facilitated the analysis of these interactions between nucleus and cytoplasm. -- John Gurdon
  • A truly great university is a nucleus of artistic expression. It fosters creative, critical thought, and serves as a platform for civil discourse. -- Gordon Gee
  • If, as I have reason to believe, I have disintegrated the nucleus of the atom, this is of greater significance than the war. -- Ernest Rutherford
  • The aim of a nuclear-transplant experiment is to insert the nucleus of a specialized cell into an unfertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed. -- John Gurdon
  • I'm the glue that keeps it all together. I'm the nucleus of an entertainment family. My day-to-day is making decisions to keep life above water. -- Jada Pinkett Smith
  • Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil -- Arthur Conan Doyle
  • The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe. -- Ramana Maharshi
  • In particular, I established a reasonably accurate energy threshold for permanent displacement of a nucleus from its regular lattice position, substantially smaller than had been previously presumed. -- Walter Kohn
  • First the stalk - then the roots. First the need - then the means to satisfy that need. First the nucleus -then the elements needed for its growth. -- Robert Collier
  • Within one year of starting work, I had found that the nucleus of an endoderm cell from an advanced tadpole was able to yield some normal development up to the nuclear transplant tadpole stage. -- John Gurdon
  • The more the relationships of the nitrogen-rich substances to the cell nucleus were recognized, the more the question of the arrangement of the nitrogen and carbon atoms in the molecule came to stand out. -- Albrecht Kossel
  • Instead of an attic with a few test tubes, bits of wire and odds and ends, the attack on the atomic nucleus has required the development and construction of great instruments on an engineering scale. -- Ernest Lawrence
  • We use the word "God" as representative of that which is timeless, immortal and infinite, that which produces order, which holds together the nucleus of an atom, which gives us life and death, neither masculine nor feminine, not a person, beyond any comprehension. -- Frederick Lindemann, 1st Viscount Cherwell
  • 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
  • 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
  • If one stretches out the DNA contained in the nucleus of a human cell, one obtains a two-yard-long thread that is only ten atoms wide. This thread is a billion times longer than its own width. Relatively speaking, it is as if your little finger stretched from Paris to Los Angeles. -- Jeremy Narby
  • Atoms have a nucleus, made of protons and neutrons bound together. Around this nucleus shells of electrons spin, and each shell is either full or trying to get full, to balance with the number of protons-to balance the number of positive and negative charges. An atom is like a human heart, you see. -- Kim Stanley Robinson
  • Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium. -- Richard Dawkins
  • Reagents are regarded as acting by virtue of a constitutional affinity either for electrons or for nuclei... the terms electrophilic (electron-seeking) and nucleophilic (nucleus-seeking) are suggested... and the organic molecule, in the activation necessary for reaction, is therefore required to develop at the seat of attack either a high or low electron density as the case may be. -- Christopher Kelk Ingold
  • In principle. what is done is to take the nucleus out of a cell with a very fine micro-pipette or needle and introduce it into an egg. That had been done with amphibians a long time ago, and then there was a long pause of many years before people were clever enough to make that work in the sheep. -- John Gurdon
  • It's a very complex network of genes making products which go into the nucleus and turn on other genes. And, in fact, you find a continuing network of processes going on in a very complex way by which genes are subject to these continual adjustments, as you might say - the computer programmer deciding which genes ultimately will work. -- John Gurdon
  • Building a team is the nucleus for every piece of success. -- Chris Ducker
  • A cell is a complex structure, with its investing membrane, nucleus, and nucleolus. -- Charles Darwin
  • I see people as the nucleus of a great idea that hasn't come to be yet. -- Richard Pryor
  • Red and raw like my brain, unable to shut down, thoughts crashing like electrons orbiting a nucleus of deuling emotions. -- Ellen Hopkins
  • The basic idea is to shove all fundamental difficulties onto the neutron and to do quantum mechanics in the nucleus. -- Werner Heisenberg
  • In your cells right now, an enzyme is making a copy of your dna in less than two hours, right in the nucleus. -- Hugh Martin
  • I like the nucleus that we have. I'm excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It's like family. I love being here. -- Kevin Durant
  • REALITY, n. The dream of a mad philosopher. That which would remain in the cupel if one should assay a phantom. The nucleus of a vacuum. -- Ambrose Bierce
  • 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. -- Henry David Thoreau
  • The nucleus has to take care of the inheritance of the heritable characters, while the surrounding cytoplasm is concerned with accommodation or adaptation to the environment. -- Ernst Haeckel
  • We're better at predicting events at the edge of the galaxy or inside the nucleus of an atom than whether it'll rain on auntie's garden party three Sundays from now. -- Tom Stoppard
  • The action of Mind (thought) plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form. -- Thomas Troward
