It is quite clear to me that the religious paradise of youth, which [I] lost, was a first attempt to free myself from the chains of the 'merely personal,' from an existence which is dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
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
The aim (of education) must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, see in the service to the community their highest life problem.
Albert Einstein
I was very pleased with your kind letter. Until now I never dreamed of being something like a hero. But since you've given me the nomination I feel that I am one.
Albert Einstein
All these constructions and the laws connecting them can be arrived at by the principle of looking for the mathematically simplest concepts and the link between them.
Albert Einstein
It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty.
Albert Einstein
No path leads from a knowledge of that which is to that which should be.
Albert Einstein
To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty... this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
Albert Einstein
It is a precarious undertaking to say anything reliable about aims and intentions.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
I know that the most joy in my life has come to me from my violin.
Albert Einstein
Although I cannot believe that the individual survives the death of his body, feeble souls harbor such thought through fear or ridiculous egotism.
Albert Einstein
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Convictions can best be supported with experience and clear thinking.
Albert Einstein
The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.
Albert Einstein
A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.
Albert Einstein
One scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell.
Albert Einstein
It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service.
Albert Einstein
The theoretical idea ... does not arise apart from and independent of experience nor can it be derived from experience by a purely logical procedure. It is produced by a creative act. Once a theoretical idea has been acquired, one does well to hold fast to it until it leads to an untenable conclusion.
Albert Einstein
There is an atmosphere of well-sounding oratory that likes to attach itself to dress clothes. Away with it!
Albert Einstein
I believe my theory of relativity to be true. But it will only be proved for certain in 1981, when I am dead.
Albert Einstein
