The truth isn't always a blinding light. Sometimes it's a deep and dazzling darkness, that illuminates - and burns - just as surely.

More quotes by Albert Einstein
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
But in physics I soon learned to scent out the paths that led to the depths, and to disregard everything else, all the many things that clutter up the mind, and divert it from the essential. The hitch in this was, of course, the fact that one had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examination, whether one liked it or not.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.
Albert Einstein
The truth of a theory can never be proven, for one never knows if future experience will contradict its conclusions.
Albert Einstein
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Albert Einstein
It would be better if you began to teach others only after you yourself have learned something.
Albert Einstein
There have already been published by the bucketsful such brazen lies and utter fictions about me that I would long since have gone to my grave if I had allowed myself to pay attention to them.
Albert Einstein
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
Albert Einstein
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
No problem is ever solved in the same consciousness thas was used to create it.
Albert Einstein
From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.
Albert Einstein
When a man is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself.
Albert Einstein
I believe that we don't need to worry about what happens after this life, as long as we do our duty here-to love and to serve.
Albert Einstein
Albert is a very poor student. He is mentally slow, unsociable and is always daydreaming. He is spoiling it for the rest of the class. It would be in the best interests of all if he were removed from school immediately.
Albert Einstein
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.
Albert Einstein
Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.
Albert Einstein
The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one can't help it, a warning example.
Albert Einstein
I hate all the loathsome nonsense that goes with patriotism.
Albert Einstein
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
Albert Einstein
I owe as much of my success to an uncompromising obstinacy as to any original ideas.
Albert Einstein
