When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

Non-comprehenders are often distressed. Not you, though-because with good humor you're blessed. After all, your thoughts went like this, I dare say: It was none but the Lord who made us that way.
Albert Einstein
Image
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives.
Albert Einstein

Things you can get access to, you should never memorize.
Albert Einstein

The tragedy of life is what dies in the hearts and souls of people while they live.
Albert Einstein

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. On being reproached that his formula of gravitation was longer and more cumbersome than Newton's.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.
Albert Einstein
Image
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.

The dog is very smart. He feels sorry for me because I receive so much mail that's why he tries to bite the mailman.

Do you really believe that the moon isn’t there when nobody looks?

Everything has changed except the way man thinks (when the hydrogen bomb was exploded)

Agreements about what is good or not, are usually not worth much. It is very much like art, is it not an art to lead a good life?
