"The greatest activity of which man is..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.”

“Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But there is no doubt in my mind that the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself to the eye all at once because of his huge dimension.”

“Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.”

“Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.”

“She had curiously thoughtful and attentive eyes; eyes that were very pretty and very good.”

“One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it.”

“How insidious Nature is when one is trying to get at it experimentally.”

“A great commotion immobilized her in her center of gravity, planted her in her place, and her defensive will was demolished by the irresistible anxiety to discover what the orange bells and whistles and the invisible globes on the other side of death were like.”

“Wonder was the motive that led people to philosophy ... wonder is a kind of desire in knowledge. It is the cause of delight because it carries with it the hope of discovery.”
