COMMENTARY ARCHIVES, 1 Mar 2010
Albert Einstein and some friends visited Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. They saw a horseshoe hanging on his door and teased him, "Are you superstitious? Do you really believe that this brings you good luck?" "Of course not," he teased back, "but I have heard that it even helps people who don’t believe in it."

He said he never lost his childish curiosity.
