‎"Like the artist, the chemist engraves into matter the products of creative imagination. The stone, the sounds, the words do not contain the works that the sculptor, the composer, the writer express from them. Similarly, the chemist creates
original molecules, new materials and novel properties from the elements provided by nature. Indeed entire new worlds, that did not exist before they were shaped at the hands of the chemist, like matter is shapped by the hand of the artist."
