Be a loner. That gives you time to wonder, to search for the truth. Have holy curiosity. Make your life worth living.
Albert Einstein
Image
Science is the process of making obviously erroneous ideas less obviously erroneous.
Albert Einstein
Image
The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our thinking. Thus, we are drifting toward catastrophe beyond conception. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Albert Einstein

What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
We have to do the best we are capable of. This is our sacred human responsibility.
Albert Einstein

E=mc2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. The original statement is: If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2. Ist die Tragheit eines Korpers von Seinem Energieghalt Abhangig? 1905

A woman is always Right. But sometimes confused or may be misinformed or rude or stubborn or senseless or unchangeable about her opinions or even down right stupid at times but NEVER wrong... She is always Right.
Albert Einstein

I am doing just fine, considering that I have triumphantly survived Nazism and two wives.
Albert Einstein

We cannot get to where we dream of being tomorrow unless we change our thinking today.
Albert Einstein

You accept the historical Jesus?
Albert Einstein

Balance in large measure is knowing the things that can be changed, putting them in proper perspective, and recognizing the things that will not change.
Albert Einstein
Image
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am not a positivist. Positivism states that what cannot be observed does not exist. This conception is scientifically indefensible, for it is impossible to make valid affirmations of what people 'can' or 'cannot' observe. One would have to say 'only what we observe exists,' which is obviously false.

Each of us visits this Earth involuntarily, and without an invitation. For me, it is enough to wonder at the secrets.
Albert Einstein

I have remained a simple fellow who asks nothing of the world only my youth is gone - the enchanting youth that forever walks on air.
Albert Einstein

Unless the cause of peace based on law gathers behind it the force and zeal of a religion, it hardly can hope to succeed.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

There is possibility in every difficulty.
