“It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.

“I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time.

“The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.”

“What can we do but keep on breathing in and out, modest and willing, and in our places?”

“Don't worry about being acknowledged by others; worry about failing to acknowledge them.”

“Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.”
