Dear Habicht, / Such a solemn air of silence has descended between us that I almost feel as if I am committing a sacrilege when I break it now with some inconsequential babble... / What are you up to, you frozen whale, you smoked, dried, canned piece of soul...?
Albert Einstein
Image
Inner freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.
Albert Einstein
Image
A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive.
Albert Einstein
Image
Beyond the realms of what we see, into the regions or the unexplored limited only by our imaginations.
