Alchemists Quotes

Bottoms are alchemists who magically transform pain into sex Picture Quote #1
These terrible sociologists, who are the astrologers and alchemists of our twentieth century Picture Quote #1
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value Picture Quote #1
The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words Picture Quote #1
In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard Picture Quote #1
Even mistaken hypotheses and theories are of use in leading to discoveries. This remark is true in all the sciences. The alchemists founded chemistry by pursuing chimerical problems and theories which are false. In physical science, which is more advanced than biology, we might still cite men of science who make great discoveries by relying on false theories. It seems, indeed, a necessary weakness of our mind to be able to reach truth only across a multitude of errors and obstacles Picture Quote #1

The alchemists of past centuries tried hard to make the elixir of life:... Those efforts were in vain; it is not in our power to obtain the experiences and the views of the future by prolonging our lives forward in this direction. However, it is well possible in a certain sense to prolong our lives backwards by acquiring the experiences of those who existed before us and by learning to know their views as well as if we were their contemporaries. The means for doing this is also an elixir of life Picture Quote #1
The labor of the alchemists, who were called artist in their day, is a befitting comparison for a deliberate change of style Picture Quote #1
The alchemists spent years in their laboratories, observing the fire that purified the metals. They spent so much time close to the fire that gradually they gave up the vanities of the world. They discovered that the purification of the metals had led to a purification of themselves Picture Quote #1
They can picture love affairs of chemicals and stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire. Strange, fertile correspondences the alchemists sensed in unlikely orders of being. Between men and planets, plants and gestures, words and weather Picture Quote #1
The old alchemy, or what was just called alchemy, has a history. Most people, if they’ve been trained in sciences, think of alchemy as the precursor to chemistry. Back in time, people were called alchemists and they worked for kings and rich people, smelting metal and trying to change base metal into gold, because the king wanted to be richer Picture Quote #1
