“If you want to become a chemist, you will have to ruin your health. If you don't ruin your health studying, you won't accomplish anything these days in chemistry.

{Liebig's advice to August KekulÃ©.}”

“There is in the chemist a form of thought by which all ideas become visible in the mind as strains of an imagined piece of music.
