other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the
same measure as I have received and am still receiving.

Albert Einstein
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from
the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of
forming such opinions.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth
can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological
phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like
an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's
relativity.

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new
courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite

tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy
curiosity.

muscles, but no personality.
