I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty.

Albert Einstein
Image
Genius abhors consensus because when consensus is reached, thinking stops. Stop nodding your head.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is intelligent to have a plan, but neurotic to fall in love with it.
Albert Einstein
Image
If God has created the world, his primary worry was certainly not to make its understanding easy for us
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.
Albert Einstein
Image
Germany had the misfortune of becoming poisoned, first because of plenty, and then because of want.
Albert Einstein
Image
Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life.
Albert Einstein
Image
My success wasn't so much due to intelligence, but the fact that I stuck with problems longer.
