Albert Einstein
While it is true that an inherently free and scrupulous person may be destroyed, such an individual can never be enslaved or used as a blind tool.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Time flies when you are having fun.
Albert Einstein
I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details.
Albert Einstein
If the bees disappear, man would have only four years of life left.
Albert Einstein
