When a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a globe he doesn't notice that the track he has covered is curved. I was lucky enough to have spotted it.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But there is no doubt in my mind that the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself to the eye all at once because of his huge dimension.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have always loved solitude, a trait which tends to increase with age.
Albert Einstein
Image
Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small
Albert Einstein
Image
I have made no secret, either privately or publicly, of any sense of outrage over officially enforced military and war service. I regard it as a duty of conscience to fight against such barbarous enslavement of the individual with every means available.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
No matter how we may single out a complex from nature...its theoretical treatment will never prove to be ultimately conclusive... I believe that this process of deepening of theory has no limits.
Albert Einstein
Image
I refuse to engage in an intellectual battle with an unarmed man.
Albert Einstein
Image
Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
Albert Einstein
Image
An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.
Albert Einstein
Image
Man owes his strength in the struggle for existence to the fact that he is a social animal.
Albert Einstein
Image
Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I was young, all I wanted and expected from life was to sit quietly in some corner doing my work without the public paying attention to me. And now see what has become of me.
Albert Einstein
Image
By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right also implies a duty: one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I was young I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.

Often in evolutionary processes a species must adapt to new conditions in order to survive. Today the atomic bomb has altered profoundly the nature of the world as we know it, and the human race consequently finds itself in a new habitat to which it must adapt its thinking.
