Honored Scientist

Famous quotes containing the words honored and/or scientist:

    I see those two hearts, I’m afraid,
    Still. Cool here in the graveyard of good and evil,
    They are even so to be honored and obeyed.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: So? Did you learn anything today? But not my mother. “Izzy,” she would say, “did you ask a good question today?” That difference—asking good questions—made me become a scientist.
    Isidor Isaac Rabi (20th century)
