Citação para o fim de semana

When I enrolled in the metallurgy program at the Technische Hochschule in Munich, the courses offered were uninspiring. The chemistry courses were a different matter. Hans Fischer's lectures in organic chemistry had a lasting impact on me. His presentation of the subject matter was masterly and superbly organized, though delivered in a monotone. I learned from Fischer that playing to the galleries does not guarantee effective information transfer; it is the course content that counts. At the end of my sophomore year I knew I had found my field.
