Image
The years of searching in the dark for a truth that one feels but cannot express, the intense desire and the alternations of confidence and misgiving until one breaks through to clarity and understanding, are known only to him who has experienced them himself.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I can't picture it, I can't understand it.
Albert Einstein
Image
My feeling is religious insofar as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to understand more deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as laws of nature.
Albert Einstein
Image
As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable.
Albert Einstein
Image
Concepts which have proved useful for ordering things easily assume so great an authority over us, that we forget their terrestrial origin and accept them as unalterable facts. They then become labeled as 'conceptual necessities,' etc. The road of scientific progress is frequently blocked for long periods by such errors.
Albert Einstein

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Albert Einstein

What good is a reputation not put to good use.
Albert Einstein
Image
You must be aware that most men (and also not only a few women) are by nature not monogamous. This nature makes itself even more forceful when tradition and circumstance stand in an individual's way.
Albert Einstein
Image
You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece.
Albert Einstein
Image
In living through this great epoch, it is difficult to reconcile oneself to the fact that one belongs to that mad, degenerate species that boasts of its free will. How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will. In such a place even I should be an ardent patriot!
Albert Einstein
Image
Classical thermodynamics ... is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced ... will never be overthrown.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I would follow your advice and Jesus could perceive it, he, as a Jewish teacher, surely would not approve of such behavior.
Albert Einstein
Image
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
Albert Einstein
Image
I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force.
Albert Einstein
Image
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work.
Albert Einstein
Image
Any brief military advantage the USA might gain with nuclear weapons would be offset by political and psychological losses and damage to American prestige. The United States might even touch off a worldwide armaments race.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anonymity is no excuse for stupidity.
Albert Einstein
Image
Matter is real to my senses, but they aren't trustworthy. If Galileo or Copernicus had accepted what they saw, they would never have discovered the movement of the earth and planets.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am strongly drawn to the simple life and am often oppressed by the feeling that I am engrossing an unnecessary amount of the labour of my fellow men. I regard class differences as contrary to justice and, in the last resort, based on force. I also consider that plain living is good for everybody, physically and mentally.
