It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
Albert Einstein
Image
The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man.

Cherish the questions, for the answers keep changing.
Albert Einstein
Image
Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

Albert Einstein
Image
But then, after all, we are all alike, for we are all derived from the monkey.
Albert Einstein
Image
Politics is a pendulum whose swings between anarchy and tyranny are fueled by perennially rejuvenated illusions.
Albert Einstein
Image
If someone feels that he has never made a mistake in his life, it only means that he has never tried anything new in his life.
Albert Einstein

Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. (said of Mahatma Gandhi)
Albert Einstein
Image
Scientific greatness is less a matter of intelligence than character if the scientist refuses to compromise or accept incomplete answers and persists in grappling the most basic and difficult questions.
Albert Einstein

Marriage is but slavery made to appear civilized.
Albert Einstein

Nobody knows how the stand of our knowledge about the atom would be without him. Personally, [Niels] Bohr is one of the amiable colleagues I have met. He utters his opinions like one perpetually groping and never like one who believes himself to be in possession of the truth.
