german-born theoretical physicist (1879–1955)
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Together, relativity and quantum mechanics are the two pillars of modern physics. He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.

We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects.

Scoala ar trebui sa-si propuna intotdeauna obiectivul ca tanarul care pleaca de acolo să aibă o personalitate armonioasă, nu să fie un specialist.
E pur si simplu un miracol faptul ca metodele moderne de instruire nu au sugrumat incă de tot sfânta curiozitate a întrebărilor; pentru că planta asta plăpândă și delicată, pe lângă încurajări, are nevoie în principal de libertate; fără ea, se ofliește și moare negreșit.
