Why is it that no one understands me and everybody likes me
Albert Einstein

We scientists, whose tragic destination has been to help in making the methods of annihilation more gruesome and more effective, must consider it our solemn and transcendent duty to do all in our power in preventing these weapons from being used for the brutal purpose for which they were invented.
Albert Einstein
Image
Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.
Albert Einstein

Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken.
Albert Einstein
Image
People start their lives at last when they are able to live for something other than themselves.
Albert Einstein

Where you see difficulty, I see opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Image
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.
Albert Einstein

Man owes his strength in the struggle for existence to the fact that he is a social animal.
Albert Einstein
Image
I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will. The Jews believe in free will. They believe that man shapes his own life. I reject that doctrine philosophically. In that respect I am not a Jew.
Albert Einstein
Image
It is true that the grasping of truth is not possible without empirical basis. However, the deeper we penetrate and the more extensive and embracing our theories become the less empirical knowledge is needed to determine those theories.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I were not a Jew I would be a Quaker.
Albert Einstein
Image
The right to search for truth implies also a duty.
Albert Einstein

A ship is safe at shore but it's not built for that.
Albert Einstein

Only the Catholic Church protested against the Hitlerian onslaught on liberty. Up till then I had not been interested in the Church, but today I feel a great admiration for the Church, which alone has had the courage to struggle for spiritual truth and moral liberty
Albert Einstein
Image
The idea of achieving security through national armament is, at the present state of military technique, a disastrous illusion.
Albert Einstein
Image
Although I tried to be universal in thought, I am European by instinct and inclination.
Albert Einstein
Image
Thanks to my fortunate idea of introducing the relativity principle into physics, you (and others) now enormously overrate my scientific abilities, to the point where this makes me quite uncomfortable.

Never memorize something that you can look up.

... we will hope that future historians will explain the morbid symptoms of present-day society as the childhood ailments of an aspiring humanity, due entirely to the excessive speed at which civilization was advancing.
