I'm no more intelligent than the next guy. I'm just more curious.
Albert Einstein

Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.

Philosophers play with the word, like a child with a doll.... It does not mean that everything in life is relative.
Albert Einstein

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.

Do things sound better in your head before you say them, or do you even run them through there first?
Albert Einstein

Even a fool is wise after an event.
Albert Einstein
Image
Each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

I now see the necessity of a beginning.
Albert Einstein

In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.

Do you believe in immortality? No, and one life is enough for me.
