Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
I know what it's like to see one's mother go through the agony of death and be unable to help there is no consolation. We all have to bear such heavy burdens, for they are unalterably linked to life.
Albert Einstein
I love Humanity but I hate humans
Albert Einstein
