I thought of that while riding my bicycle.
Albert Einstein

Consider the concepts referred to in the words 'where', 'when', 'why', 'being', to the elucidation of which innumerable volumes of philosophy have been devoted. We fare no better in our speculations than a fish which should strive to become clear as to what is water.
Albert Einstein

There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair.
Albert Einstein
Image
For the most part, I do the thing which my own nature prompts me to do. It is embarrassing to earn so much respect and love for it.
