I have yet to meet a single person from our culture, no matter what his or her educational background, IQ, and specific training, who had powerful transpersonal experiences and continues to subscribe to the materialistic monism of Western science.
Albert Einstein
Image
Measured objectively, what a man can wrest from Truth by passionate striving is utterly infinitesimal. But the striving frees us from the bonds of the self and makes us comrades of those who are the best and the greatest.

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. When visiting the U.S. from Germany for a winter academic stay.

Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.
Albert Einstein
Image
The most fundamental question we can ever ask ourselves is whether or not the universe we live in is friendly or hostile.
Albert Einstein

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

I live my daydreams in music I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.

A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.
Albert Einstein
Image
The mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. There comes a point where the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap

I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful and simple
