More quotes by Albert Einstein
In music I do not look for logic. I am quite intuitive on the whole and know no theories. I never like a work if I cannot intuitively grasp its inner unity (architecture).
Albert Einstein
If they want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.
Albert Einstein
Imagination rules the earth
Albert Einstein
When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.
Albert Einstein
Even if only 2 percent of those assigned to perform military service should announce their refusal to fight, governments would be powerless, they would not dare send such a large number of people to jail.
Albert Einstein
I want to know what God thinks. The rest are details.
Albert Einstein
Enough for me is the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality. There is in this neither a will nor a goal, nor a must, but only sheer being.
Albert Einstein
Everyone sits in the prison of his own ideas he must burst it open, and that in his youth, and so try to test his ideas on reality.
Albert Einstein
Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
Albert Einstein
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Albert Einstein
I like neither new clothes nor new kinds of food.
Albert Einstein
Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
You think you have troubles with mathematics . . . I assure you mine are still bigger.
Albert Einstein
Great spirits often meet violent oppisition with mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
In the past it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell.
Albert Einstein
[There is] a duty in refusing to cooperate in any undertaking that violates the Constitutional rights of the individual. This holds in particular for all inquisitions that are concerned with the private life and the political affiliations of the citizens.
Albert Einstein
One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
Albert Einstein
The cult of individual personalities is always, in my view, unjustified. To be sure, nature distributes her gifts variously among her children. But there are plenty of the well-endowed ones too, thank God, and I am firmly convinced that most of them live quiet, unregarded lives.
Albert Einstein
Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.
Albert Einstein
If you want the answer to anything, go sit in Nature for awhile
Albert Einstein
