...behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable.
Albert Einstein
Image
... on principle, it is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.
Albert Einstein
Image
...and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man - though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.
Albert Einstein
Image
It's not that I'm so smart.
Albert Einstein
Image
The pursuit of knowledge is more valuable than its possession.
Albert Einstein
Image
Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Image
What I'm really interested in is whether God could have made the world in a different way that is, whether the necessity of logical simplicity leaves any freedom at all.
Albert Einstein
Image
The war is won, but the peace is not.
Albert Einstein
Image
God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.
Albert Einstein
Image
God reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.
Albert Einstein
Image
On quantum theory I use up more brain grease (rough translation of German idiom) than on relativity.
Albert Einstein
Image
I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.
Albert Einstein
Image
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
Albert Einstein
Image
How can any educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science.
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
Image
The problems that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.
Albert Einstein
