Albert Einstein was once confronted by an anxious woman who wanted to know how to raise her son to become a successful scientist. “What kind of books should I read to my son?” she asked.

“Fine, but what should I read to him after that?”
“More fairy tales,” said Einstein.
“And after that?”
“Even more fairy tales,” he declared, waving his pipe in the air with the satisfaction of a wizard who had just pronounced a happy end to a long adventure.
