The words of language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
A person experiences life as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from this self-imposed prison, and through compassion, to find the reality of Oneness.
Albert Einstein
Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of Nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a wish addressed to a Supernatural Being.
Albert Einstein
My scientific work is motivated by an irresistible longing to understand the secrets of nature and by no other feeling. My love for justice and striving to contribute towards the improvement of human conditions are quite independent from my scientific interests.
Albert Einstein
I am not an atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.
Albert Einstein
Human beings are not condemned, because of their biological constitution, to annihilate each other or to be at the mercy of a cruel, self-inflicted fate.
Albert Einstein
Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein
If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck
Albert Einstein
There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them.
Albert Einstein
Only a very dull man spells a word the same way twice.
Albert Einstein
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
Albert Einstein
Art is the expression of the profoundest thoughts in the simplest way.
Albert Einstein
Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
Albert Einstein
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Albert Einstein
To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.
Albert Einstein
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.
Albert Einstein
We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking
Albert Einstein
Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.
Albert Einstein
We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits often meet violent oppisition with mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.
