"My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known fact that I was born and that is all that is necessary."	Intelligence, Knowledge, Life
"My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred."	Attitude, Intelligence, Men
"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."	Ability, Darkness, Light
"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."	Patriotism
"Never regard study as a duty but as an enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later works belong."	Ability, Beauty, Duty
"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."	Men, Sin

"Of all the communities available to us there is not one I would want to devote myself to, except for the society of the true searchers, which has very few living members at any time."	Ability, Desires, Honesty
"Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it."	Art, Effort, Knowledge
"One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."	Military, War
"One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."	Time
"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."	Age, Education, Knowledge
"Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person."	Honesty, Men, Strength
"Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible."	Wisdom
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."	Men, Stupidity
"Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life."	Love, Death
