In states where no regulation exists, anyone is permitted to perform medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures, sometimes after just a few weeks of on-the-job training.
Charles W. Pickering

The radiations that pour upon the earth cause the biosphere to take on properties unknown to lifeless planetary surfaces, and thus transform the face of the earth. Activated by radiation, the matter of the biosphere collects and redistributes solar energy, and converts it ultimately into free energy capable of doing work on earth.
Vladimir Vernadsky

Scientology is the only specific (cure) for radiation (atomic bomb) burns.
L. Ron Hubbard
4.
I will continue to push for doubling the strength of the U.S. Border Patrol, and to make sure that every cargo container that enters this nation is screened for radiation and potential weapons of mass destruction.
Nick Lampson

All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.
Hildegard of Bingen
6.
Nuclear industry proponents often assert that low doses of radiation (eg below 100mSV) produce no ill effects and are therefore safe. But , as the US National Academy of Sciences BEIR VII report has concluded, no dose of radiation is safe, however small, including background radiation; exposure is cumulative and adds to an individual's risk of developing cancer.
Helen Caldicott
8.
The dividing line between the wave or particle nature of matter and radiation is the moment “Now.” As this moment steadily advances through time it coagulates a wavy future into a particle past.
William Lawrence Bragg

As expected: she, the daughter of the Fall, recipient of its heaviest radiation, loved atomically.
Junot Diaz

In the Radiation Laboratory we count it a privilege to do everything we can to assist our medical colleagues in the application of these new tools to the problems of human suffering.
Ernest Lawrence
11.
There is no safe amount of radiation. Even small amounts do harm.
Linus Pauling
12.
Charm is an odorless perfume, which cannot be anchored in the chemists' test tube. It is a permeation, a radiation. It emanates from the climate of a warm human spirit, which not only contains light, but gives it off.
Fannie Hurst
13.
I couldn't possibly lead the kind of life I lead, and keep the schedule that I do, having radiation or chemotherapy.
Nancy Reagan
14.
From the beginning of the Radiation Laboratory, I have had the rare good fortune of being in the center of a group of men of high ability, enthusiastic and completely devoted to scientific pursuits.
Ernest Lawrence
15.
I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an illness of the thyroid gland. Instead of surgery, I was given radiation treatment.
Gail Devers
16.
Life is a state of constant radiation and absorption; to exist is to radiate; to exist is to be the recipient of radiations.
William George Jordan
17.
Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.
Delta Goodrem
18.
The material particle nature of primary cosmic radiation has been confirmed, although the processes turned out to be extraordinarily more complicated than we had assumed.
Walther Bothe
19.
Cellphone and other wireless radiation should be classified as a "probable human carcinogen."
Devra Davis
20.
Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei.
Walther Bothe
21.
At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.
Norman Wisdom
22.
The life expectancy of people going to Mars may be decreased by the higher level of radiation that they receive.
Buzz Aldrin
23.
God created two acts of folly. First, He created the Universe in a Big Bang. Second, He was negligent enough to leave behind evidence for this act, in the form of microwave radiation.
Paul Erdos
24.
In this case, the particle formed has correspondingly less energy, whereas the product nucleus passes into the ground state with emission of the quantity of energy saved as gamma radiation.
Walther Bothe
25.
Welcome to Perdido beach, where our motto is: Radiation, what radiation?
Michael Grant
26.
The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.
Timothy Murphy
27.
I'm happy to tell you that having been through surgery and chemotherapy and radiation, breast cancer is officially behind me. I feel absolutely great and I am raring to go.
Carly Fiorina
29.
I had a lumpectomy. It wasn't that bad. Six and a half weeks of radiation.
Cynthia Nixon
30.
One of the major problems with long-term deep space human flight is the requirement for radiation shielding.
Buzz Aldrin
31.
Everybody is exposed to radiation. A little bit more or a little bit less is of no consequence.
Dixie Lee Ray
32.
I say that radiation is inherently disintegrative: it comes apart. Gravity is inherently integrative: it pulls together. And to me, there's a good possibility that love is what I'd call metaphysical gravity. It really holds everything together.
R. Buckminster Fuller
33.
I am a type-2 diabetic, and they took me off medication simply because I ate right and exercised. Diabetes is not like a cancer, where you go in for chemo and radiation. You can change a lot through a basic changing of habits.
Sherri Shepherd
34.
I'd like to be proven wrong on the difficulty of handling the medical side-effects of long term exposure to deep space (both microgravity induced illnesses and radiation damage).
Charles Stross
35.
We are rightly appalled by the genetic effects of radiation; how then, can we be indifferent to the same effect in chemicals we disseminate widely in our environment?
Rachel Carson
36.
I got a massive overdose of gamma radiation from the Xerox machine and just printing call sheets, you know? By the time I stepped in front of the camera, I was very comfortable. It was great.
Cary Elwes
37.
There were schools and hospitals who were ready to take people with undescribed injuries, but not necessarily ready to take people with severe radiation poisoning.
William Scranton
38.
Every place, once unique, itself, is strangely shot through with radiations from every other place. ‘There’ was then; ‘here’ is now.
Sven Birkerts
39.
More is learned in a public than in a private school, from emulation. There is the collision of mind with mind, or the radiation of many minds pointing to one center.
Samuel Johnson
40.
It's much easier to go through something and deal with it without being under a microscope... It was stressful. I was terrified getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant.
Farrah Fawcett
41.
Radar, of course, is what cellphone radiation is exactly like. It can be a similar frequency, it's just much weaker power.
Devra Davis
42.
It was as if she had emitted a pulse of radiation that reached him even where he stood, and it bathed him and it burned him.
Laini Taylor
43.
Folic acid deficiency does the same thing as radiation.
Bruce Ames
44.
When I was 41, I found a lump the size of a grape in my right breast. I ended up bald, sick and exhausted from surgeries, chemo and radiation treatments. Ah, but I got to live.
Regina Brett
45.
I am not a climatologist, but I don't think any of the other witnesses are either. I do work in the related field of atomic, molecular and optical physics. I have spent my professional life studying the interactions of visible and infrared radiation with gases - one of the main physical phenomena behind the greenhouse effect. I have published over 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals.
