“We hope that this honor you have done us will bring the time of furthe...” — Willard Libby Quote

“We hope that this honor you have done us will bring the time of further realization of these benefits closer and will help all mankind to live better and be happier through the atom and isotopes.”

“And yet the Nobel Prizes, in singling out individuals, have done a great deal of good in pointing up to the world as a whole and setting forth clearly goals for achievement.”

“Most achievements in science are to a certain degree group efforts.”

“The buckyball, with sixty carbon atoms, is the most symmetrical form the carbon atom can take. Carbon in its nature has a genius for assembling into buckyballs. The perfect nanotube, that is, the nanotube that the carbon atom naturally wants to make and makes most often, is exactly large enough that one buckyball can roll right down the center.”

“The savages don't have atom bombs.”

“Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.”
