Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
Figuring out how to think about the problem.
Albert Einstein
We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.
Albert Einstein
The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.
Albert Einstein
On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.
Albert Einstein
Paper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think.
Albert Einstein
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein
All means prove but blunt instruments, if they have not behind them a living spirit.
Albert Einstein
No problem is ever solved in the same consciousness thas was used to create it.
Albert Einstein
How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.
Albert Einstein
One can't teach a cat not to catch birds
Albert Einstein
The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
Albert Einstein
We must recognize what in our accepted tradition is damaging to our fate and dignity-and shape our lives accordingly.
Albert Einstein
America is today the hope of all honorable men who respect the rights of their fellow men and who believe in the principle of freedom and justice.
Albert Einstein
There are two different conceptions about the nature of the universe: (1) the world as a unity dependent on humanity (2) the world as a reality independent of the human factor.
Albert Einstein
Time is what the clock says.
Albert Einstein
I learned many years ago never to waste time trying to convince my colleagues.
Albert Einstein
Student: Dr. Einstein, Aren't these the same questions as last year's [physics] final exam? Dr. Einstein: Yes But this year the answers are different.
Albert Einstein
A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
Is it not a terrible thing to be forced by society to do things which all of us as individuals regard as abominable crimes?
Albert Einstein
I am not an atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.
Albert Einstein
