    "A theory is more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability. Therefore, the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that, within the framework of applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown. " Albert Einstein

    "Every attempt to employ mathematical methods in the study of chemical questions must be consider profoundly irrational. If mathematical analysis should ever hold a prominent place in chemistry - an aberration which is happily impossible - it would occasion a rapid and widespread degradation of that science " A. Conte 1838

    " Young lady, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics" Homer Simpson wav
