“When I was a child, I thought of my Delta town as the center of the

universe, but now I realize how little I know about the universe. As a

child, I thought I was immortal, but now I recognize how limited a time

we all have. As a child, success meant scoring A on every exam, but

now I take it to mean good health, close family and friends, achieve-

ments in my work, and helping others.”
Ahmed H. Zewail, Voyage Through Time: Walks of Life to the Nobel Prize

“I don't know all the reasons for these achievements, but I know that I love what I do and I have never wanted to rest on my laurels.”
Ahmed H. Zewail, Voyage Through Time: Walks of Life to the Nobel Prize

“Perhaps the most valuable thing he taught me (his father) was

that there is no contradiction between devotion to work and enjoyment

of life and people”
