Disintegrated Quotes

On things coming apart.

This set uses disintegrated in three distinct ways: atoms split by accelerated particles, the collapse of wartime rules once terrorism took hold, and a visual illusion built from light and shadow.

The discovery that light elements could be disintegrated by artificially accelerated particles gave an additional impetus to development work on the various methods of producing them.

Quotes by Ernest Walton

Part of this new world of completely improvisational terrorism is that there were codes of war that disintegrated in the face of terrorism.

Quotes by Diane Sawyer

A piece of wall can be visually disintegrated from the whole into a separate triangle by plunging a diagonal of light from edge to edge on the wall; that is, side to floor, for instance.

Quotes by Dan Flavin
