The most difficult part about understanding something is that we understand it all.
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.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
Albert Einstein
Image
Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.
Albert Einstein

It is humankind's duty to respect all life, not only animals have feelings but even also trees and plants.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.
Albert Einstein

Berlin is the place to which I am most closely bound by human and scientific ties.
Albert Einstein
Image
There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
Image
Brief is this existence, as a visit in a strange house. The path to be pursued is poorly lit by a flickering consciousness.
Albert Einstein
Image
Striving for peace and preparing for war are incompatible with each other, and in our time more so than ever.
Albert Einstein
Image
The scientist is activated by a wonder and awe before the mysterious comprehensibility of the universe which is yet finally beyond his grasp. In its profoundest depths it is inaccessible to man.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am of the opinion that all the finer speculations in the realm of science spring from a deep religious feeling, and that without such feeling they would not be fruitful.

I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, unjustified. The dowsing rod is a simple instrument which shows the uncanny reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown to us at this time.
