Albert Einstein
The rest of my life (as a 39 year old) I want to reflect on what life is.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein
The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
Albert Einstein
The last thing to collapse is the surface.
Albert Einstein
