When thinking of a brilliant mind, one immediately calls to mind Albert Einstein. Even if one is not a scientist, he can be admired and respected: as a professional, he utterly revolutionized his field, never stopped thinking and expanding the boundaries set by his predecessors.
Not only was Einstein an incredibly brilliant theoretical physicist, but his insights into life, logic and spirituality were both elegant and enlightening, and give further evidence to the brilliance that he contained within himself. He was and remains an inspiration and a marvel; a man whose simplicity, intelligence, and kindness we can all aspire to.
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
“I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.”
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.”
“A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.”
“I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
“Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.”

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the the universe.”
“The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.”
“The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there’s no risk of accident for someone who’s dead.”
