The tragedy of life is what dies in the hearts and souls of people while they live.

I believe that we don't need to worry about what happens after this life, as long as we do our duty here-to love and to serve.

Don't be too hard on me. Everyone has to sacrifice at the altar of stupidity from time to time.

Everything what's inspiring has been created by one who could work in freedom

Thanks to my fortunate idea of introducing the relativity principle into physics, you (and others) now enormously overrate my scientific abilities, to the point where this makes me quite uncomfortable.

I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

Science is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.
