Albert Einstein

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Information is not knowledge.

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
