The really good music, whether of the East or of the West, cannot be analyzed.
Albert Einstein
A person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their super-personal value.
Albert Einstein
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
What I am really interested in is knowing whether God could have created the world in a different way; in other words, whether the requirement of logical simplicity admits a margin of freedom.
Albert Einstein
When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.
Albert Einstein
I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?
Albert Einstein
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.
Albert Einstein
I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down by the mind before you reach eighteen.
Albert Einstein
To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself.
Albert Einstein
Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.
Albert Einstein
I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
Albert Einstein
Much reading after a certain age diverts the mind from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little, falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theaters is apt to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.
Albert Einstein
What is thought to be a "system" is after all, just conventional, and I do not see how one is supposed to divide up the world objectively so that one can make statements about parts.
Albert Einstein
A man should look for what is, and not for Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
