Albert Einstein reshaped physics with the special and general theories of relativity and won the 1921 Nobel Prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. He fled Nazi Germany in 1933 and spent the rest of his life at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, becoming an outspoken voice for peace and civil rights.

Albert once said something in an interview that changed how I thought about my own work. I've never forgotten it.
