In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself.
Albert EinsteinThe Jewish scriptures admirably illustrate the development from the religion of fear to moral religion, a development continued in the New Testament. The religions of all civilized peoples, especially the peoples of the Orient, are primarily moral religions.
Albert EinsteinI do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense... Schopenhauerโs saying, โA man can do what he wants, but not will what he wants,โ has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of lifeโs hardships, my own and othersโ, and an unfailing wellspring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously; it is conducive to a view of life which, in part, gives humour its due.
