I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.... - Albert Einstein

"It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom."

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

"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."

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

"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."
