My deep religiosity [...] found an abrupt ending at the age of twelve, through the reading of popular scientific books.
Albert Einstein

How do I work? I grope.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that's different about me is that I still ask the questions most people stopped asking at age five.

To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
Albert Einstein

Hell! there ain't no rules around here! We are tryin' to accomplish somep'n!

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

I prefer to make up my own quotes and attribute them to very smart people, so that I can use them to win arguments
Albert Einstein

Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else has ever thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.
Albert Einstein

How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
Enough for me is the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality. There is in this neither a will nor a goal, nor a must, but only sheer being.
Albert Einstein

Was wirklich zählt, ist Intuition
Albert Einstein

One ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, the while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanic marvels in the plants she munches.
Albert Einstein
Image
Thus I came...to a deep religiosity, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached a conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true....Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience...an attitude which has never left me.

I should very much like to remain in the darkness of not having been analyzed.
Albert Einstein

Just as with the man in the fairy tale who turned whatever he touched into gold, with me everything is turned into newspaper clamor.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have reached the conviction that the abolition of the death penalty is desirable. Reasons: 1) Irreparability in the event of an error of justice, 2) Detrimental moral influence of the execution procedure on those who, whether directly or indirectly, have to do with the procedure.

The height of stupidity is most clearly demonstrated by the individual who ridicules something he knows nothing about.

I see my life in terms of music.

One must console oneself with the thought that time has a sieve through which most of these important things run into the ocean of oblivion and what remains after this selection is often still trite and bad.
