The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
Albert Einstein
Image
All the fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no closer to answer the question, What are light quanta? Of course today every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe we are here to do good. It is the responsibility of every human being to aspire to do something worthwhile, to make the world a better place than the one we found.
Albert Einstein

If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?
Albert Einstein

The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences.
Albert Einstein

A forced faithfulness is a bitter fruit for all concerned.
Albert Einstein

What is essential in the life of a man of my kind is what he thinks and how he thinks, and not what he does or suffers.
Albert Einstein
