Every day, man is making bigger and better fool-proof things, and every day, nature is making bigger and better fools. So far, I think nature is winning.
Albert EinsteinThe formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.
Albert EinsteinA theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.
Albert EinsteinIf I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.
Albert EinsteinWell, I have considered myself to be very fortunate in that I have been able to do mostly only that which my inner self told me to do... I am also aware that I do receive much criticism from the outside world for what I do and some people actually get angry at me. But this does not really touch me because I feel that these people do not live in he same world as do I.
