Quotes - Albert Einstein

On quantum theory I use up more
brain grease than on relativity.
- Albert Einstein

Everything that is really great and inspiring is
created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
- Albert Einstein

It is strange to be
known so universally
and yet to be so lonely.
- Albert Einstein

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
- Albert Einstein

Equations are more important to me,
because politics is for the present,
but an equation is something for eternity.
- Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
- Albert Einstein
