More quotes by Albert Einstein
The analogy I like is this imagine being able to see the world but you are deaf, and then suddenly someone gives you the ability to hear things as well - you get an extra dimension of perception.
Albert Einstein
I was just more stubborn and more passionate than most about physics.
Albert Einstein
More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else...All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.
Albert Einstein
By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right also implies a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
Albert Einstein
Gradually the conviction gained recognition that all knowledge about things is exclusively a working-over of the raw material furnished by the senses. ... Galileo and Hume first upheld this principle with full clarity and decisiveness.
Albert Einstein
The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought.
Albert Einstein
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein
The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
Albert Einstein
In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are capable of it.
Albert Einstein
As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.
Albert Einstein
No matter how we may single out a complex from nature...its theoretical treatment will never prove to be ultimately conclusive... I believe that this process of deepening of theory has no limits.
Albert Einstein
If everybody lived as I do, surely the writing of romance novels would never have come into being.
Albert Einstein
Playfullness is the essential feature of productive thought.
Albert Einstein
There are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views
Albert Einstein
The laws of gravity cannot be held responcible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Marvellous, what ideas the young people have these days. But I don't believe a word of it.
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
I hate all the loathsome nonsense that goes with patriotism.
Albert Einstein
Even trivial events demonstrate strong devotion to the Universe and small concern for ego.
