Oxygen Quotations | Page 2

When your children arrive, the best you can hope for is that they break open everything about you. Your mind floods with oxygen. Your heart becomes a room with wide-open windows. You laugh hard every day...

I never knew there were this many stars." "I can't see them," he told me. "I just see you." "That's one of your cheesier lines," I told him. "It's the altitude," he told me. "I don't have enough oxygen in my brain." "I see.

I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen. I say that purposefully. I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything. Truly, I get high on oxygen, and once I graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what I love. That, to me, is absolutely priceless.

Water is H2O, hydrogen two parts, oxygen one, but there is also a third thing, that makes it water and nobody knows what that is.

To take nature and natural play away from children may be tantamount to withholding oxygen.

We know that oxygen generating systems in general have had a lot of problems over the years during start-up. We want to fly it early so we can work those out.

But when it has been shown by the researches of Pasteur that the septic property of the atmosphere depended not on the oxygen, or any gaseous constituent, but on minute organisms suspended in it, which owed their energy to their vitality, it occurred to me that decomposition in the injured part might be avoided without excluding the air, by applying as a dressing some material capable of destroying the life of the floating particles. Upon this principle I have based a practice.

When children's minds are open to new ideas and concepts at the age of six, they could be taught the basics of molecular structure, how Oxygen and Hydrogen and Carbon join up to make ever-day substances. By the age of 14, their minds are already doubtful of new ideas which suggest something fundamentally different to what they know, and they can no longer be inspired into exploring science.

My brothers are my backbone. My parents are my oxygen. I can't live without them.

Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water.

She was a stirrer of the pot, a lover of intrigue and distress, a creature who seemed to draw oxygen from the spectacle of people at each other's throat, everybody in a state of upset and talking about her.

All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their ways in water. If you analyze a molecule of chlorophyll itself, what you get is one hundred thirty-six atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in an exact and complex relationship around a central ring. At the ring's center is a single atom of magnesium. Now: If you remove the atom of magnesium and in its exact place put an atom of iron, you get a molecule of hemoglobin. The iron atom combines with all the other atoms to make red blood, the streaming red dots in the goldfish's tail.

He kissed me desperately, like a drowning man and I was his oxygen.

The world of derivatives is full of holes that very few people are really aware of. It's like hydrogen and oxygen sitting on the corner waiting for a little flame.

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

The clearest evidence that we are living beyond environmental means is the threat of dangerous climate change. The scale of this threat, to human life and to the natural resources and assets on which it depends, for everything from oxygen and clean water to healthy soils and flood defence, means that this simply must be our top priority

I just learned how to scuba dive. Id been scared to rely on one little air hose for oxygen, but swimming with all those fish is exhilarating.

Unfortunately it's also true to say that good management is a bit like oxygen - it's invisible and you don't notice its presence until it's gone, and then you're sorry.

I cannot exist without the oxygen of laughter.

What we're most worried about is brain recovery. Anybody who suffers anoxic brain injury -- inadequate oxygen to the brain -- can develop a longtime disability.

Ultimately, the Reaction Motors turbo pump became stalled in development, so another 4-chamber Reaction Motors engine, this one fueled by liquid oxygen and diluted ethyl alcohol, was slated for installation,

Was he deprived of oxygen for a sufficiently long period of time? We don't know that. That is something that time will tell.

I started to express my dissatisfaction. They knew I worked as a paramedic. They told me to shut up, that I wasn't a paramedic in the back of their ambulance. Then, one of them, a man said, 'I'll fix you, this will shut you up.' That's when he slammed the oxygen mask onto my face. It was a tremendous pain.

The smaller surface area limits oxygen. Oxygen can enter only on the surface.

We will have oxygen on the side of the stage, ... We don't look our age. I think music keeps us young. Not the music business -- it's the music that keeps us young.

This seems like a bad idea to have two cones so close together. But it turns out that the closeness of the M and L cone sensitivities allows for an additional dimension of sensitivity to spectral modulation. Also, their spacing maximizes sensitivity for discriminating variations in blood oxygen saturation.

Firefighters are really going to have to keep their heads up because with a 20 to 30 mph breeze it's going to push that fire and just feed oxygen to that fire.

Some firefighters have told us that human oxygen masks are so ineffective that they will actually try to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when they're dealing with a pet.

That's how fish breathe. They need oxygen the same as us.

As a precaution, we're checking into why the oxygen masks deployed, and we're also trying to determine whether there was a problem with the cabin pressure.

Perhaps Randy -- and I am completely speculating -- but perhaps he had more oxygen available to him than those who succumbed. I can't explain why or how, but that would be a logical explanation for why he did better.

There's not a lot of oxygen left in the room. Henry and Ciro have been campaigning for a long time.

A fire needs three things to survive: fuel (like weeds or dry grass), oxygen and a heat source. A lot of grass fires are preventable.

You're in an unfriendly, to say the least, atmosphere, so you have to be completely protected from it, from every molecule of oxygen that's there.

If you turn the experiment around and put the hydrogen and oxygen in and take the electricity off, you have a fuel cell.

I'm developing a physiological theory of growth and oxygen requirement. If it's well-understood how fish require oxygen to grow, then we can understand how to deal with the impact of global warming.

At advanced base camp, we'll be breathing only half the oxygen we're used to at sea level. By the time we reach the summit, we'll be climbing, sleeping and eating at heights that only jet liners cruise.

I turned up to the oxygen chamber yesterday and it felt pretty good, the best it's felt since the last Test.

Absolutely nothing. It would have been a good time to have an oxygen tent.

The miner that survived thus far is younger than everyone else, and his body might be more resistant to that oxygen deprivation if it did occur.

His lungs were so bad they couldn't supply the oxygen his body needed. A respiratory therapist told us his lungs were so hard and infected that it was like trying to pump air into a brick.

I hit Damian Fuller with a left hook that left him laid out for 30-45 minutes. They brought oxygen to him, they couldn't wake him up, he was out cold. The television station kept having to take breaks, he was out so long. It was unbelievable. That was the best one-shot I've ever done in my life.

If you run the same stride going up hill, you have to work harder. Studies have shown that as runners get faster, their stride length shortens. So quicker turnover is the key here. Paradoxically, a longer stride takes more energy, so you'll get into oxygen debt early.

I remember in 1967, when there was that terrible fire on NASA's Apollo 1 rocket that killed three astronauts, my father made pure oxygen and we lit this tiny cup and burned it. Suddenly, we had an unbelievable jet and a fire. You just could see exactly what had happened.

By the time you're at the top (of the mountain), your oxygen is about half of what it was at sea level.

The higher you go in a company, the less oxygen there is, so supporting intelligent life becomes difficult.

Changes in oxygen may have been a huge driver for mammalian evolution. Nature is so damned complicated.

By taking shallow breaths, you get less oxygen to your brain making you feel tired. Take five minutes to breathe as deeply as you can instead.

By looking at different regions of soils and reflection of ultraviolet ... we can gauge the distribution and abundance of oxygen in the soils.

We write poems / as leaves give oxygen - / so we can breathe.

One often feels as though something had happened before, I remember. It comes quite close to you and stands there and you know it was just this way once before, exactly so; for an instant you almost know how it must go on, but then it disappears as you try to lay hold of it like smoke or a dead memory. "We could never remember, Isabelle," I say. "It's like the rain. That has also become one, out of two gasses, oxygen and hydrogen, which no longer remember they were once gasses. Now they are only rain and have no memory of an earlier time.

In a large mass of muscle deprived of its circulation, the rate at which the recovery process can go on, after severe stimulation, depends on the rate at which oxygen can reach the fibres by diffusion.

You were born to run. Maybe not that fast, maybe not that far, maybe not as efficiently as others. But to get up and move, to fire up that entire energy-producing, oxygen-delivering, bone-strengthening process we call running.

You want to know the truth about that play? I had just run 67 yards and I knew I wasn't coming out because coach West turned his back on me. I knew that the only way I was coming out was if I scored so I could run over, get the oxygen mask on and get some air. That's what I was thinking about.

The clock starts ticking as soon as the injury occurs and bleeding worsens. Secondary injuries, such as low oxygen levels and low blood pressure, will happen after an injury and those all double and triple your chance of dying.

The fungus is knocking out species...It impedes the ability of their skin to absorb oxygen and just suffocates them. It's the equivalent of us ingesting a fungus that takes over our lungs,

They meet in the girls' bathroom. The last time they were forced to meet in a place like this, they took separate, isolated stalls. Now they share one. They hold each other in the tight space, making no excuses for it. There's no time left in their lives for games, or for awkwardness, or for pretending they don't care about each others, and so they kiss as if they've done it forever. As if it is as crucial as the need for oxygen.

For a Westerner to trash Western culture is like criticizing our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere on the grounds that it sometimes gets windy, and besides, Jupiter's is much prettier. You may not realize its advantages until you're trying to breathe liquid methane.

The concern is that this runoff from the cattle feed is very nutrient rich, so it affects the oxygen levels in the water and can change the pH of the water. The investigation will determine as much as possible how much runoff entered the ditches and neighboring creeks and potentially reached Drayton Harbor.

Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. The stubborn retention of it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered it.

Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen.

Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches.

For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom.

Straddling the top of the world, one foot in China and the other in Nepal, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask, hunched a shoulder against the wind, and stared absently down at the vastness of Tibet.

You lived and died alone, especially in fighters. Fighters. Somehow, despite everything, that word had not become sterile. You slipped into the hollow cockpit and strapped and plugged yourself into the machine. The canopy ground shut and sealed you off. Your oxygen, your very breath, you carried into the chilled vacuum, in a steel bottle.

The second [presidential] term changes, and I think that John F. Kennedy certainly ran on that and he knew that second term would give him oxygen, and he needed it. Unfortunately, he didn't get there.

You don't see the plug connected to the environment, so it looks like we're free, wandering around. Take the oxygen away, we all die immediately. Take plant life away, we die. And without the sun, all the plants die. So we are connected.

Why does everybody agree that atmospheric oxygen comes from life, but no one speaks about the other gases coming from life?

It's been scientifically proven that at the end of a game more oxygen is being used to keep tired bodies moving than the brain thinking clearly. I believe at this critical stage the game could be won and lost.

Football is a 'start-and-stop' type of activity. There's going to be exercise, and there's going to be a recovery period. During that recovery period, the players can get the oxygen they need to be ready to go again.

For a very long time, we've been extraordinarily interested in the interaction between low temperature and low oxygen. We see that they're connected because we know people who are extremely cold are not getting oxygen to their cells. And yet, they're sometimes alive.

As water comes off the rings, it is split by sunlight; the resulting hydrogen and atomic oxygen are then lost, leaving molecular oxygen.

They don't suck the oxygen out; they just add nitrogen. It simulates living in the mountains.

They have a lot of air, they can house 25 people, a full crew, for 36 hours, and they can release oxygen in these rooms. There are chairs, cots - this is not the Ritz - first-aid stuff, things that you would want to sustain life.

It's enough so that you don't have to use up the oxygen supplies to feed the fuel cells.

Within a minute's time, the fire doors in that area of the ship totally isolated that part of the vessel. The ... air conditioning system was shut down so that the fire would not get any oxygen internally.

I try to get threshold workouts in at least three times a week during pre-season to help the kids increase their oxygen intake.

This tells us that something wiped out enough oxygen so that most species died out.

It's always been our position if it takes you eight hours to walk out of a mine, then there ought to be eight hours of oxygen for you to do that.

This is the safest way clinically to increase stem cell circulation, far safer than any of the pharmaceutical options. This study provides information on the fundamental mechanisms for hyperbaric oxygen and offers a new theoretical therapeutic option for mobilizing stem cells.

He apparently was overcome by the variety of toxic gases and the oxygen deprivation that likely occurred.

Being in this area, it's like oxygen and water. We work really hard to keep it good spirited so it's a lot of fun.

I realized that a methane-oxygen rocket engine could achieve a specific impulse greater than 380.

I mean the whole economy just comes to a grinding halt. Competence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen.Indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing you think about. And the oxygen has been sucked out of the credit markets.

Neither theological knowledge nor social action alone is enough to keep us in love with Christ unless both are proceeded by a personal encounter with Him. Theological insights are gained not only from between two covers of a book, but from two bent knees before an altar. The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world

Profit is like oxygen, food, water, and blood for the body; they are not the point of life, but without them, there is no life.

You know how they say a man's house is his castle? I think for a woman, it's her body. I feel so strongly about a woman's right to choose. This is my Zionism. It's not a "right" any more than it's a right to breathe, to take in oxygen.

I witnessed a surgery on a patient from New Orleans who was in a car accident. He didn't have any flow of oxygen. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't get a good flow of oxygen, so they did a surgery on him right there, and I was just holding the IV up watching.

Love is not love if it compelled by reason and driven by logic - love exists in spite of those things, not because of them. It is a emotion which needs no fuel to fire it or oxygen to feed it; if you have to look for the why, then stop looking; it was never there at all.

I awaken. I consume oxygen, then bacon, eggs and black coffee, then my wife, then bacon.

I love to breathe. Oxygen is sexy!

When Grandma Mazur is talking about the reason for the improved play of her 91-year-old bowling teammate, she said: "She's doing better now that we got her the longer tubing to her oxygen tank.

The person and society are yoked, like mind and body. Arguing which is more important is like debating whether oxygen or hydrogen is the more essential property of water.

Wine is a living, breathing thing during its time in the bottle and in the glass. It is always changing, especially in the glass. A little oxygen can really open up and release the flavors in a complex wine, as well as mellow the rougher edge of immaturity.

"When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's no - and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem."

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.

At 17, the smallest crises took on tremendous proportions; someone else's thoughts could take root in the loam of your own mind; having someone accept you was as vital as oxygen. Adults, light years away from this, rolled their eyes and smirked and said, 'This too shall pass' - as if adolescence was a disease like chicken pox, something everyone recalled as a milk nuisance, completely forgetting how painful it had been at the time.

It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.' 'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said. 'It can be sort of blinding,' he said. 'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said. 'Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?' 'You cannot.' 'It is my burden, this beautiful face.' 'Not to mention your body.' 'Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.

Aging nations have arteries clogged with obsolete laws, slowing blood flow and preventing oxygen from reaching all parts of the body politic. Physicians call this arteriosclerosis; historians see decline of empire.
