"Imagination rules the earth..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Ever since childhood I have scorned the commonplace limits so often set upon human ambition. Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone; best both for the body and the mind”

“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”

“I believe that the horrifying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives. A disastrous by-product of the development of the scientific and technical mentality. We are guilty. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.”

“The grave and the image are equally links with the irrecoverable and symbols for the unimaginable.”

“The truest poetry is the most feigning.”

“I have too much imagination to be a housewife”

“I am a dedicated madman, and that becomes its own training. If you can't resist, if the typewriter is like candy to you, you train yourself for a lifetime. Every single day of your life, some wild new thing to be done. You write to please yourself. You write for the joy of writing. Then your public reads you and it begins to gather around your selling a potato peeler in an alley, you know. The enthusiasm, the joy itself draws me. So that means every day of my life I've written. When the joy stops, I'll stop writing.”

“Leave out my name from the gift if it be a burden, but keep my song.”

“The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.”
