I know what it's like to see one's mother go through the agony of death and be unable to help there is no consolation. We all have to bear such heavy burdens, for they are unalterably linked to life.

Image
I see in Nature a magnificent structure... that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility.
Albert Einstein
Image
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
Albert Einstein
Image
Understanding physics is child's play when compared to understanding child's play.
Albert Einstein
Image
A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
Common sense consists of those layers of prejudice laid down before the age of 18.
Albert Einstein
Image
Don't be too hard on me. Everyone has to sacrifice at the altar of stupidity from time to time.
Albert Einstein
Image
A thousand things can prove me right and one can prove me wrong.

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is inconceivable about the universe is that it is at all conceivable.
Albert Einstein
Image
Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.
Albert Einstein

Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals.
Albert Einstein
Image
Some men spend a lifetime in an attempt to comprehend the complexities of women. Others pre-occupy themselves with somewhat simpler tasks, such as understanding the theory of relativity!
Albert Einstein
Image
The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem.
Albert Einstein
Image
But nature did not deem it her business to make the discovery of her laws easy for us.
Albert Einstein
Image
I owe as much of my success to an uncompromising obstinacy as to any original ideas.
Albert Einstein
Image
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
Image
On the other hand, the concept owes its meaning and its justification exclusively to the totality of the sense impressions which we associate with it.

If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.
