    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)

    Annina: Monsieur Rick, what kind of man is Captain Renault?
    Rick: Oh, he’s just like any other man, only more so.
    —Julius J. Epstein (1909–1952)
