Favorite Applicability Quotes

1. "Will fluorine ever have practical applications?It is very difficult to answer this question.

Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

Certain political leaders of other nations, who are inclined to perpetrate human rights abuses to quiet dissenting voices and were previously restrained by positive influence from Washington, now feel free to emulate or exceed the abuses approved by American leaders."
Author: Jimmy Carter

Author: William James
