The Literature Page      - We have 2 book reviews related to Albert Einstein.
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish. Albert Einstein Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. Albert Einstein Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience. Albert EinsteinEvery day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. Albert EinsteinFew people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. Albert EinsteinGravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity. Albert EinsteinI know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Albert Einstein I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. Albert Einstein I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. Albert Einstein If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith. Albert EinsteinIf you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. Albert EinsteinImagination is more important than knowledge... Albert Einstein It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. Albert EinsteinLaws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. Albert Einstein My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. Albert Einstein Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. Albert Einstein Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Albert Einstein Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. Albert Einstein The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible. Albert Einstein The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert EinsteinThe important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. Albert Einstein The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. Albert EinsteinThe most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. Albert EinsteinThe most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible. Albert EinsteinThe release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. Albert EinsteinThe secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. Albert Einstein To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself. Albert Einstein Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. Albert Einstein Truth is what stands the test of experience. Albert EinsteinTry not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. Albert Einstein

Albert Camus

Showing quotations 1 to 22 of 22 total Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question. Albert Camus Do not wait for the last judgment. It takes place every day. Albert CamusDon't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend. Albert CamusI shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day. Albert CamusIf there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. Albert CamusIn the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. Albert Camus Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. Albert CamusThere is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. Albert CamusToo many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity. Albert Camus We only know of one duty, and that is to love. Albert CamusWe rarely confide in those who are better than we are. Albert CamusYou cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it. Albert Camus Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the inteligent or the dull. Albert Camus, CaligulaBut in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself. Albert Camus, Happy DeathWhat is a rebel? A man who says no. Albert Camus, L'Homme revolte (The Rebel), 1951You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. Albert Camus, La Chute (The Fall),1956 All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Albert Camus, The Myth of SisyphusI see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically gettin killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions. Albert Camus, The Myth of SisyphusIt is natural to give a clear view of the world after accepting the idea that it must be clear. Albert Camus, The Myth of SisyphusThere is but one truly philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Albert Camus, The Myth of SisyphusHe who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hope for the human condition is a fool. Albert Camus, The Rebel (1951)

Albert Schweitzer

Showing quotations 1 to 11 of 11 total A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up. Albert Schweitzer A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.

Albert Ellis

Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.
Albert Ellis

As a result of my philosophy, I wasn't even upset about Hitler. I was willing to go to war to knock him off, but I didn't hate him. I hated what he was doing.
Albert Ellis

By not caring too much about what people think, I'm able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
Albert Ellis

For that again, is what all manner of religion essentially is: childish dependency.
Albert Ellis

Freud had a gene for inefficiency, and I think I have a gene for efficiency.
Albert Ellis

I get people to truly accept themselves unconditionally, whether or not their therapist or anyone loves them.
Albert Ellis

I had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didn't love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression.
Albert Ellis

I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.
Albert Ellis

I hope to die in the saddle seat.
Albert Ellis

I started to call myself a rational therapist in 1955; later I used the term rational emotive. Now I call myself a rational emotive behavior therapist.
Albert Ellis

I think it's unfair, but they have the right as fallible, screwed-up humans to be unfair; that's the human condition.
Albert Ellis

I think the future of psychotherapy and psychology is in the school system. We need to teach every child how to rarely seriously disturb himself or herself and how to overcome disturbance when it occurs.
Albert Ellis

I thought foolishly that Freudian psychoanalysis was deeper and more intensive than other, more directive forms of therapy, so I was trained in it and practiced it.
Albert Ellis

I would have liked having children to some degree, but frankly I haven't got the time to take the kids to the goddamn ballgame.
Albert Ellis

I wrote several articles criticizing psychoanalysis, but the analysts weren't listening to my objections. So I finally quit after practicing it for six years.
Albert Ellis

I'm very happy. I like my work and the various aspects of it-going around the world, teaching the gospel according to St. Albert.
Albert Ellis

If I had been a member of the academic establishment, I could have done other experiments.
Albert Ellis

If something is irrational, that means it won't work. It's usually unrealistic.
Albert Ellis

In the old days we used to get more referrals, because people had insurance that paid for therapy. Now they belong to HMOs, and we can only be affiliated with a few HMOs.
Albert Ellis

Let's suppose somebody abused you sexually. You still had a choice, though not a good one, about what to tell yourself about the abuse.
Albert Ellis

Albert Camus

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Albert Camus

A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Albert Camus

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.
Albert Camus

After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Albert Camus

After all, every murderer when he kills runs the risk of the most dreadful of deaths, whereas those who kill him risk nothing except promotion.
Albert Camus

Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.
Albert Camus

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
Albert Camus

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.
Albert Camus

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Albert Camus

At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
Albert Camus

At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.
Albert Camus

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.
Albert Camus

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
Albert Camus

By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more.
Albert Camus

Albert Einstein

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Albert Einstein

A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.
Albert Einstein

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
Albert Einstein

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
Albert Einstein

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.
Albert Einstein

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
Albert Einstein

All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Albert Einstein

An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.
Albert Einstein

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Albert Einstein

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Albert Einstein

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert Einstein

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
Albert Einstein

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein

Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein

Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.
Albert Einstein

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
