It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not bring us any closer to the secrets of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.

For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.

It is really a puzzle what drives one to take one's work so devilishly seriously.
Albert Einstein

The essentials of being a person of my type lies precisely in what they think and how they think, not in what they do. Your thoughts shape you.

One is born into a herd of buffaloes and must be glad if one is not trampled under foot before one's time.

That which is impenetrable to us really exists. Behind the secrets of nature remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.

The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know.

This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future.

The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgment should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.

I am truly a lone traveler and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart.
