Lise Meitner

I have always been a strong advocate for the ethical implications of scientific and technological progress.

The world is a boundless source of wonder, and science helps us to explore its depths.

I have always believed that science can foster a sense of global community and cooperation.

The most important thing is to be a person of vision, courage, and integrity.

Science makes people reach for truth and objectivity; it teaches people to accept reality, with wonder and admiration, not to mention the deep awe and respect. The more we know, the more we realize how much we don’t know.

I am a physicist and I have nothing to do with politics.

A life devoted to science is a happy life, and that is what I have lived.

It is not the task of science to create a better world, but to understand the world.

We have used the term 'fission' to describe the process of the uranium nucleus splitting into two smaller nuclei.

The splitting of the uranium nucleus is a process that releases an enormous amount of energy.

The discovery of nuclear fission was a result of many years of careful experimental work and theoretical interpretation.

I often think with a certain bitterness of the fact that I was not allowed to continue my work in Berlin.

The most important thing in science is to have an open mind and to be willing to question established ideas.

Physics is not just a profession; it is a way of life.

The atomic bomb was a terrible misuse of scientific discovery.

I cannot forgive Hahn for simply accepting the Nobel Prize without mentioning my contribution.

The nucleus is not an indivisible entity, but a complex structure that can be broken apart.

The energy released in nuclear fission is so great that it can be used for both destructive and constructive purposes.

It was a terrible time, but I never lost my love for physics.

The pursuit of knowledge is a noble endeavor, regardless of the outcome.
