Albert Einstein

Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.
Albert Einstein

To get to know a country, you must have direct contact with the earth. It's futile to gaze at the world through a car window.
Albert Einstein
Image
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
