    • 1999 December 27, Frederic Golden, “Albert Einstein (1879-1955): Person of the century”, in CNN‎[1]:

And for many advanced thinkers of the 1920s, from Dadaists to Cubists to Freudians, that was a fitting credo, reflecting what science historian David Cassidy calls "the incomprehensiveness of the contemporary scene--the fall of monarchies, the upheaval of the social order, indeed, all the turbulence of the 20th century."
