Quotes and Sayings About Acid
-
To me the acid test was always the crew, and if the crew liked you, you're OK.
-- Ann Rutherford -
All the more recent work on alkaptonuria has... strengthened the belief that the homogentisic acid excreted is derived from tyrosin, but why alkaptonuric individuals pass the benzene ring of their tyrosin unbroken and how and where the peculiar chemical change from tyrosin to homogentisic acid is brought about, remain unsolved problems.
-- Archibald Garrod -
When I was an art student in the early 60′s before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.
-- Bill Griffith -
Yes, but personally I was never a big acid head.
-- Bill Griffith -
-
one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid
-- Charles Bukowski -
Acid gave me a clinical, unblinking look at madness, and I discovered I wasn't brave enough to be insane.
-- Craig Ferguson -
I could sell used battery acid and make it fly.
-- Dan Aykroyd -
-
I'm not regretful about dropping acid, but I could have stopped it a little sooner.
-- David Carradine -
If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.
-- Eddie Izzard -
The results serve to disprove the tetranucleotide hypothesis. It is, however, noteworthy-whether this is more than accidental, cannot yet be said-that in all desoxypentose nucleic acids examined thus far the molar ratios of total purines to total pyrimidines, and also of adenine to thymine and of guanine to cytosine, were not far from 1.
-- Erwin Chargaff -
In life they're not going to serve you lemons, they're going to serve you lemonade; and I don't really like lemonade because I've got a really bad acid reflux.
-- Felicia Day -
-
I'm at the age where I don't need an acid trip to feel naked... to feel that I don't exist. Now a self-portrait is almost a reminder to me that I do exist.
-- Francesco Clemente -
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
-- Francis Crick -
A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.
-- Francis Crick -
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
-- Francis Crick -
-
How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons.
-- Francis Crick -
Unfortunately it makes the unambiguous determination of triplets by these methods much more difficult than would be the case if there were only one triplet for each amino acid.
-- Francis Crick -
It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid.
-- Francis Crick -
It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule.
-- Francis Crick -
-
Back in the day I took a lot of supplements and tons of amino acids. Still do. But back then it was pretty unusual. That's how I got the nickname The Chemist.
-- Frank Zane -
In this atmosphere I soon became interested in nucleic acids.
-- Frederick Sanger -
It's so funny. I honestly thought every one of those people on the show could beat anyone at any time anywhere. You just have to have a slightly off day or moment or two or you missed a touch of acid. It has nothing to do with credentials. Anyone could've chopped anyone at any time. I had to look at myself as the one who could lose this the most.
-- Geoffrey Zakarian -
I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'
-- Harry Nilsson -
-
Loneliness becomes an acid that eats away at you.
-- Haruki Murakami -
A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and Holy Ghost on drums.
-- Hunter S. Thompson -
Curran and I mixed about as well as glycerin and nitric acid: put us together, shake a bit, and hit the deck as we exploded.
-- Ilona Andrews -
I hope one of my fans has one of your kids shot: and blames it on acid, prozac, and slipknot.
-- Immortal Technique -
-
All life is nucleic acid; the rest is commentary
-- Isaac Asimov -
The gastric laboratory uses its protein ferment under an acid reaction.
-- Ivan Pavlov
