"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy." Albert Camus 4.8000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Most people go on living their everyday life: half frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragi-comedy that is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world." Albert Einstein 4.6129 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote

"A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind." Albert Einstein 4.7250 average rating Rate this Quote
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." Albert Einstein 4.7639 average rating Rate this Quote
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people." Albert Einstein 4.6667 average rating Rate this Quote
"What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life." Albert Einstein 4.4211 average rating Rate this Quote
"The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives." Albert Einstein 4.7619 average rating Rate this Quote
"...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought." Albert Einstein 4.2857 average rating Rate this Quote
"Why does this magnificent applied science, which saves work and makes life easier, bring us little happiness? The simple answer runs: because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it." Albert Einstein 4.6667 average rating Rate this Quote
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein 4.6429 average rating Rate this Quote
"I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play. (referring to America)" Albert Einstein 4.6364 average rating Rate this Quote
"The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Albert Einstein 4.4167 average rating Rate this Quote
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein 4.6538 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Albert Einstein 4.8182 average rating Rate this Quote
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it." Albert Einstein 4.5714 average rating Rate this Quote
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself." Albert Einstein 4.2308 average rating Rate this Quote
