Son Isaac

Famous quotes containing the words son and/or isaac:

    Remember that every son had a mother
    whose beloved son he was,
    and every woman had a mother
    whose beloved son she wasn’t.
    Marge Piercy (20th century)

    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)
