This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.

The rest of my life (as a 39 year old) I want to reflect on what life is.
Albert Einstein
Image
A problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which it occurs.
Albert Einstein

I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus.
Albert Einstein
Image
God has given me a mule-like stubbornness to stick with a difficult problem and the intuitive powers to conceptualize complex hypothetical situations in my mind.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
Albert Einstein
Image
In my personal experience I have hardly come to know the wretchedness of mankind better than as a result of the general theory of relativity and everything connected to it. But it doesn't bother me.
Albert Einstein
Image
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.

So long as there are men, there will be wars.

Everyone has two choices. We're either full of love... or full of fear.
