"Chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change."
— Walter White
Chemistry Is The Study Of Matter
Chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change.
About this quote
Walter White opens his high school chemistry class with this line in the very first scene of Breaking Bad, Season 1, Episode 1 ("Pilot"), created by Vince Gilligan. It doubles as the thematic thesis of the entire series: the show is not a crime story but a story of transformation — of a mild-mannered teacher who changes, step by step, into a dangerous criminal. The monologue is later reprised as an ironic counterpoint in later seasons.
