Albert Einstein

"I believe in intuitions and inspirations...I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am."

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination."

"Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."

"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

"Black holes are where God divided by zero."

"God is subtle but he is not malicious."

"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"

"Never memorize something that you can look up."

"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."

"Phantasie ist wichtiger als Wissen, denn Wissen ist begrenzt."

"The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this."

"I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it."

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."

"I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it."

"Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value."
