Albert Einstein
Image
We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.
Albert Einstein

What counts can't always be counted what can be counted doesn't always count.
Albert Einstein
Image
Every serious scientific worker is painfully conscious of this involuntary relegation to an ever-narrowing sphere of knowledge, which threatens to deprive the investigator of his broad horizon and degrades him to the level of a mechanic.
Albert Einstein

Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
He who finds though that lets us penetrate even a little deeper into the eternal mystery of nature has been granted great grace. He who, in addition, experiences the recognition, sympathy, and help of the best minds of his times, had been given almost more happiness than one man can bear.
