"... self-study, in a sense of learning by yourself without anybody teaching you anything, has an enormous value." Robert P. Kraft, born 16 June 1927.
"The main difficulty to popularize quantum physics is that we do not really know how to make images of it in our world. In this sense it is really counterintuitive." Alain Aspect, born 15 June 1947.
"On graduating from the school, a studious young man who would withstand the tedium and monotony of his duties has no choice but to lose himself in some branch of science or literature completely irrelevant to his assignment." Charles de Coulomb, born 14 June 1736.
