The laws of gravity cannot be held responcible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein
Image
Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Albert Einstein
Image
In music I do not look for logic. I am quite intuitive on the whole and know no theories. I never like a work if I cannot intuitively grasp its inner unity (architecture).
Albert Einstein
Image
Only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.
Albert Einstein
Image
The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow-creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.
Albert Einstein
Image
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
Albert Einstein
Image
What a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of the other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous.
Albert Einstein
