Albert Einstein
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.
Albert Einstein
Everything you can imagine, nature has already created.
Albert Einstein
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
Creative energy is more critical than learning.
Albert Einstein
Play is the highest from of research.
Albert Einstein
