More quotes by Albert Einstein
We must remember that we do not observe nature as it actually exists, but nature exposed to our methods of perception. The theories determine what we can or cannot observe...Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.
Albert Einstein
A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
The emotional state that leads to achievements resembles that of a worshiper or the lover.
Albert Einstein
The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent.
Albert Einstein
An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.
Albert Einstein
A great thought begins by seeing something differently, with a shift of the mind's eye.
Albert Einstein
If I had my life to live over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing.
Albert Einstein
It is an outcome of faith that nature-as she is perceptible to our five senses-takes the character of such a well formulated puzzle.
Albert Einstein
Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
Albert Einstein
Reason is intuition's servant.
Albert Einstein
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
Even the scholars in various lands have been acting as if their brains had been amputated.
Albert Einstein
When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth.
Albert Einstein
I believe the most important mission of the state is to protect the individual and make it possible for him to develop into a creative personality.
Albert Einstein
Any power must be an enemy of mankind which enslaves the individual by power and by force, whether it arises under the Fascist or the Communist flag. All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded to the individual.
Albert Einstein
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.
Albert Einstein
It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher.
Albert Einstein
I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life.
Albert Einstein
This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
Albert Einstein
School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave.
Albert Einstein
