Albert Einstein
All I want to do is learn to think like God. All the rest is just details.
Albert Einstein
A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
We are boxed in by the boundary conditions of our thinking
Albert Einstein
Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
I never said half the crap people said I did.
Albert Einstein
Most teachers waste their time by asking question which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what pupils knows or is capable of knowing.
Albert Einstein
Even on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots
Albert Einstein
The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein
Why is it I always get my best ideas while shaving?
Albert Einstein
Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world. All knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.
Albert Einstein
My comprehension of God comes from a deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.
Albert Einstein
It is impossible to solve significant problems using the same knowledge that created them.
Albert Einstein
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
Albert Einstein
