To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
Albert Einstein
Image
All that's different about me is that I still ask the questions most people stopped asking at age five.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everyone knew it was impossible, until a fool who didn't know came along and did it.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
Albert Einstein
Image
This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future.
Albert Einstein
Image
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.

People will not disarm step by step they will disarm at one blow or not at all.
Albert Einstein
Image
Humankind's desire for peace can be realized only by the creation of a world government.
Albert Einstein
Image
If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.
Albert Einstein
Image
I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to protect their own economic status and, also, generally speaking, to secure their influence in the political field.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.
Albert Einstein
Image
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that three of his fingers are pointing at himself. Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics I can assure you that mine are still greater.
Albert Einstein
Image
No idea is conceived in our mind independent of our five senses [i.e., no idea is divinely inspired].
Albert Einstein
Image
God is subtle but he is not malicious.
Albert Einstein
Image
The economists will have to revise their theories of value.

The Devil craps on the big pile

Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.

Everything what's inspiring has been created by one who could work in freedom

Insofar as mathematics is true, it does not describe the real world. Insofar as it describes the real world, it is not true.
