What is a scientist?

"What is a scientist?...We give the name scientist to the type of man who has felt experiment to be a means of guiding him to search out the deep truth of life, to lift a veil from its fascinating secrets, and who, in this pursuit, has felt arising within him a love for the mysteries of nature, so passionate as to annihilate the thought of himself."  Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.8, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
