The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
Albert Einstein
Image
When we are working at something, we come down from our high logical horse and sniff around with our nose to the ground. Then we obliterate our traces in order to become more God-like.
Albert Einstein

I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.

Man can find meaning in life only through devoting himself to society.
Albert Einstein

... on principle, it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.

The important things are always simple.

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.

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterwards.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
Albert Einstein

When the nazis came to power, I looked to the universities that prided themselves upon their intellectual freedom, and they failed me. I looked to the German press, which prided itself on the freedom of the press, and it failed me. Until at last the churches stood alone, and that for which I once had little regard earned my respect.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.

Everything has changed except the way man thinks (when the hydrogen bomb was exploded)

The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.

It's not that I'm so smart.

Understanding physics is child's play when compared to understanding child's play.
