Love is not the stupidest thing a man does, but it cannot be blamed on gravity.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theoretizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophic attitude, his work would not have been possible.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must be prepared to make the same heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war.
Albert Einstein
Image
So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.

Do you really believe that the moon isn’t there when nobody looks?
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!

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
Image
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
No problem is ever solved in the same consciousness thas was used to create it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The future is of greater interest to me than the past, since that is where I intend to spend the rest of my life.
Albert Einstein
Image
We must learn to see the world anew.
Albert Einstein
Image
A successful man is he who receives a great deal from his fellow men, usually incomparably more than corresponds to his service to them. The value of a man, however, should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution.
Albert Einstein
Image
A thousand things can prove me right and one can prove me wrong.
Albert Einstein
Image
When a man, after long years of searching, chances upon a thought which discloses something of the beauty of this mysterious universe, he should not therefore be personally celebrated. He is already sufficiently paid by his experience of seeking and finding.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is a very high goal which, with our weak powers, we can reach only very inadequately, but which gives a sure foundation to our aspirations and valuations.
Albert Einstein
Image
An oligarchy of private capital cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society because under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information.

I asked myself childish questions and proceeded to answer them.
