Science Quotes by Arne Tiselius (2 quotes)
Separation methods for preparative and analytical purposes are, as is well known, of fundamental importance in the chemists’ work, It is illuminating that in the Dutch language “Scheikunde” or the Art of Separation, is even today often used as a name for chemistry.
— Arne Tiselius
In Nobel Lecture (13 Dec 1948), on website on nobelprize.org.
We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language.
— Arne Tiselius

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
