User vs Schema

I realized I was confuse with the term "USER" and "SCHEMA" Even while using TOAD to login it put these 2 terms together ie : user/schema.
All I know schema is collection of objects and user is "the one" who have access to that object.

Any better explanation to make me clear ? Is it a user A always means owner of schema A?
