"Mysticism is in fact the only criticism..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

“We scientists, whose tragic destination has been to help in making the methods of annihilation more gruesome and more effective, must consider it our solemn and transcendent duty to do all in our power in preventing these weapons from being used for the brutal purpose for which they were invented.”

“Reason is intuition's servant.”

“To be sure, it is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate a man and enrich his nature, but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive.”

“Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality.”

“When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible.”

“The field of experience is the whole universe in all directions. Theory remains shut up within the limits of human faculties.”

“You cannot have a theory without principles. Principles is another name for prejudices.”

“The sun had, in the meanwhile, sunk behind the Ettersberg. We felt in the wood the chill of the evening, and drove all the quicker to Wiemar, and to Goethe's house. Goethe urged me to go in with him for a while, and I did so. He was in an extremely engaging mood. He talked a great deal about his theory of colors, and of his obstinate opponents; remarking that he was sure that he had done something in this science.”
