"When the Special Theory of Relativity began to germinate in me, I was visited by all sorts of nervous conflicts... I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion." Albert Einstein 4.8000 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Albert Einstein 4.8750 average rating Rate this Quote
"E=mc² (Energy equals mass times the square of the speed of light.) Original statement: If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminshes by L/c²." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Innumerable voices have been asserting for some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my meaning, let me record here a personal experience. I recently discussed with an intelligent and well-disposed man the threat of another war, which in my opinion would seriously endanger the existence of mankind, and I remarked that only a supranational organization would offer protection from that danger. Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me: "Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race?" 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
"I think and think for months and years, ninety-ninety times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." Albert Einstein 4.7500 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
"In light of knowledge attained, the happy achievement seems almost a matter of course, and any intelligent student can grasp it without too much trouble. But the years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alterations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand 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
"There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there." Albert Einstein 4.8824 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
"I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." Albert Einstein 4.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Since I do not foresee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the pressure of fear, it would not do." Albert Einstein 4.4000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing." Albert Einstein 4.8889 average rating Rate this Quote
"The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes." Albert Einstein 3.6667 average rating Rate this Quote
"The physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for he himself knows best and feels most surely where the shoe pinches.... he must try to make clear in his own mind just how far the concepts which he uses are justified... The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote
"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." Albert Einstein 4.5000 average rating Rate this Quote
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Albert Einstein 4.7000 average rating Rate this Quote
