There are two different conceptions about the nature of the universe: (1) the world as a unity dependent on humanity (2) the world as a reality independent of the human factor.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
How vile and despicable war seems to me! I would rather be hacked to pieces than take part in such an abominable business.
Albert Einstein
...and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man - though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Albert Einstein
Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate.
Albert Einstein
In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become even more apparent that all men are, indeed, brothers.
Albert Einstein
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is vastly more important than intelligence.
Albert Einstein
If you want your children to be smart, tell them stories. If you want them to be really smart, tell them more stories. If you want your children to be brilliant, tell them even more stories.
Albert Einstein
How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.
Albert Einstein
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
Albert Einstein
You think you have troubles with mathematics . . . I assure you mine are still bigger.
Albert Einstein
We come now to the question: what is a priori certain or necessary, respectively in geometry (doctrine of space) or its foundations? Formerly we thought everything nowadays we think nothing. Already the distance-concept is logically arbitrary there need be no things that correspond to it, even approximately.
Albert Einstein
If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
Albert Einstein
Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.
Albert Einstein
Science can only state what is, not what should be.
Albert Einstein
There does, in fact, appear to be a plan.
Albert Einstein
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.
Albert Einstein
The legs are the wheels of creativity.
Albert Einstein
Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein
The important things are always simple.
Albert Einstein
