I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. My awareness of the essential nature of Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustainโespecially from the development of a narrow nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state.
Albert EinsteinCompound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.
Albert EinsteinWhen I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge. (Reading this makes me wonder how much sooner man could have walked on the moon... had we listened to a child's fantasies. It is truly a pity that so many lose their gift of imagination to the steady hum of the status quo.)
