For as long as one has no further point of reference, apart from the position of the maximum, the wavelength thus remains uncertain by an integral factor.

There is no doubt that I, also, had long been aware of the problem, i.e. producing X-ray interferences, before the inherent difficulties had finally been surmounted.

If diffraction or interference phenomena were to be sought it was therefore necessary, in accordance with the basic principles of wave theory, to select for the test arrangement far smaller decisive dimensions than those employed in corresponding tests with visible light.

Notwithstanding these major arguments the wave theory initially did not meet with complete acceptance.

For both reasons, owing to the thermal motion and to the working together of various wavelengths, factors arise which, in a similar manner to the structural factor, exert some influence upon the brightness of the interference points but not upon their location.

For in 1900 all electromagnetic radiation of longer wavelengths was already known at least to the extent that one could not seek in it the more striking characteristics of X-rays such as, for example, the strong penetrating power.

For as long as one has no further point of reference, apart from the position of the maximum, the wavelength thus remains uncertain by an integral factor.

The energy of mindfulness has the element of friendship and loving kindness in it.

I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.

The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the stress of war by German chemists.

I take my dog Tinkerbell seriously. I take my job seriously. But I don't take myself all that seriously.

When in doubt, use brute force.

When I saw Wonder Woman being constantly put in positions where she'd get tied up with her own rope, or held hostage, even as a kid, my reaction was 'C'mon, she's too smart for that.'

I've been very happy with all the teams I've played for. They all treated me very well.

I'd kind of like to have a classic old muscle car. I think that would be fun.

When you have people catering to you non-stop, you lose it. You need someone to kick you in the butt every now and then!

Many people say I smile more in Africa than in Sweden.

The difference between men is in energy, in the strong will, in the settled purpose and in the invincible determination.

The fairest and most democratic process in terms of Supreme Court nominees is let the American people have a voice.

Like many people in Britain, I have an affectionate respect for the Queen, and am surprised that I should be having such republican thoughts.

I used to be the voice of Virgin Atlantic in America, and some people only know me for that.

I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.

Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests.

The first time I got recognized in public was at a movie theater. It was at the 'Lord of the Rings' movie premiere. I was at the movie theater, and someone came up, and it was so weird to me, because I had never been recognized by a viewer, so I thought that was scary.

And I think the rolling polls put more pressure on them to sustain their beliefs and to improve their delivery of the policy and their delivery of the ideas so that they can garner support for whatever principle they're articulating.

Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.

Castro branded Rigondeaux a 'traitor' and 'Judas' to the Cuban people.

I write screenplays in the middle of the night.

It was always something I knew I was capable of and from an early age my mother was involved in the film industry. She used to work at a production company. So I was exposed to a renaissance period of films in New Zealand back in the early 80's.

I don't wanta do any Blues or any sad songs.
