Quote examples
Marie Curie
Polish Scientist
Sometimes I had to spend a whole day mixing a boiling mass with a heavy iron rod nearly as large as myself. I would be broken with fatigue at the day's end. Other days, on the contrary, the work would be a most minute and delicate fractional crystallization, in the effort to concentrate the radium.
Quote examples
John Updike
American Novelist
There's a crystallization that goes on in a poem which the young man can bring off, but which the middle-aged man can't.
Quote examples
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
American Architect
Architecture depends on its time. It is the crystallization of its inner structure, the slow unfolding of its form.
Quote examples
Louis MacNeice
British Poet
All experiment is made on a basis of tradition; all tradition is the crystallization of experiment.
