Nature hides her secrets because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse.
Albert Einstein

...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.
Albert Einstein

If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.
Albert Einstein

Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.
Albert Einstein
Image
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.
Albert Einstein
Image
One must shy away from questionable undertakings, even when they bear a high-sounding name.
Albert Einstein
Image
No fairer destiny could be allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in which it lives on as a limiting case.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one.
Albert Einstein
Image
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have never obtained any ethical values from my scientific work.
Albert Einstein
Image
Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events.
Albert Einstein

It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.
