Albert Einstein
Image
Logic can take you from point A to point B. Imagination can take you wherever you want
Albert Einstein
Image
But the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense, therefore, I hold true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.

All our thinking is of this nature, a free play with concepts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surprise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more securely.
