Albert Einstein~ Thoughts

[Sachet]

'A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.'

~Albert Einstein

Anyone have any interesting 'Einstein' they'd like to share?

Sounds like he was talking about " The Force".

Nope but I do have a lot of Stephen Hawking.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Is 'The Force' a movie or a book, walrus?

[pudgy]

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

[pudgy]

My life is a simple thing that would interest no one. It is a known fact that I was born and that is all that is necessary.

[pudgy]

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

[pudgy]

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who read too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

There's soOo much happening all the time too..
I wonder how much Einstein REALLY understood, but never revealed certain things out of fear he'd be ridiculed..
