Every newspaper feels it must have an astrology column, and even in the Carleton University bookstore this morning, I found books on astrology for sale. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
The citation for the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry reads, ‘for contribution to the knowledge of electronic structures and geometry of molecules, especially free radicals,’ and therefore implies that the Prize has been awarded for a long series of studies extending practically over my whole scientific life.

The CH radical is a very reactive radical which, under most conditions, has a very short lifetime. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
The visible and near-ultraviolet emission spectrum of the CH radical has been known ever since spectra of an ordinary Bunsen burner have been taken. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
For polyatomic free radicals and ions, one is dependent both for the ground states and the excited states on the study of electronic spectra to obtain the shapes and the geometrical parameters. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
There is nothing wrong with good accounting, except that it does not necessarily lead to good science. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
The Glassco Commission was really not interested in good science. It was interested in good accounting. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
Pursue science because it is knowledge, because it broadens our horizons. There is so much more to be discovered. Gerhard Herzberg Read Quote
