It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein

More quotes by Albert Einstein
I have remained a simple fellow who asks nothing of the world only my youth is gone - the enchanting youth that forever walks on air.
Albert Einstein
It is both auspicious and peaceful for people to choose vegetarinism.
Albert Einstein
I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.
Albert Einstein
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
Albert Einstein
I believe in intuition and inspiration...at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.
Albert Einstein
The power of imagination is the ultimate creative power.. no doubt about that. While knowledge defines all we currently know and understand.. imagination points to all we might yet discover and create. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions
Albert Einstein
There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way towards one another, there will be a catastrophe.
Albert Einstein
Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss.
Albert Einstein
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
Albert Einstein
School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave.
Albert Einstein
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ... [By seeking] logical beauty spiritual formulas are discovered necessary for the deeper penetration into the laws of nature.
Albert Einstein
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
Albert Einstein
The sole function of education...[is] to open the way to thinking and knowing, and the school, as the outstanding organ for the people's education, must serve that end exclusively.
Albert Einstein
I do not play games. There is not time for it. When I get through with work, I don't want anything that requires the working of the mind.
Albert Einstein
For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts.
Albert Einstein
Numerous are the academic professors, but rare are wise and noble teachers.
Albert Einstein
What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.
Albert Einstein
One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year.
Albert Einstein
One cannot deal with a problem with the same thinking that creates it.
Albert Einstein
With all my heart I believe that the world's present system of sovereign nations can only lead to barbarism, war and inhumanity, and that only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community.
Albert Einstein
