More quotes by Albert Einstein
The ordinary adult never gives a thought to space-time problems ... I, on the contrary, developed so slowly that I did not begin to wonder about space and time until I was an adult. I then delved more deeply into the problem than any other adult or child would have done.
Albert Einstein
There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.
Albert Einstein

Already the distance-concept is logically arbitrary there need be no things that correspond to it, even approximately.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
What lead me more or less directly to the special theory of relativity was the conviction that the electromotive force acting on a body in motion in a magnetic field was nothing else but an electric field.
Albert Einstein
If you've never failed, you've never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
Experts are just trained dogs.
Albert Einstein
While it is true that science, to the extent of its grasp of causative connections, may reach important conclusions as to the compatibility and incompatibility of goals and evaluations, the independent and fundamental definitions regarding goals and values remain beyond science's reach.
Albert Einstein
Intelligence and genius
Albert Einstein
Stand still. The trees ahead and bush beside you are not lost.
Albert Einstein
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.
Albert Einstein
All means prove but blunt instruments, if they have not behind them a living spirit.
Albert Einstein
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein
