Why I Chose Him
I chose to do my Culture of Wonder Project on Albert Einstein because I
am part German and Albert Einstein is a German-born physicist. Einstein
interests me because not only did he create a world famous equation
(E=mc2), but he started out in Germany and then moved to America.

Quotes
Imagination is more important than knowledge

The important this is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason
for existing

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new
