    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)

    Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents ... and only one for birthday presents, you know.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
