Quotes About Einstein

The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought

I am ceaselessly occupied with the question of the constitution of radiation … This quantum question is so incredibly important and difficult that everyone should busy himself on it.

Space-time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence, independently of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept empty space loses its meaning.

Hours before his death in 1955 from a ruptured abdominal aortic ayeurysm, Albert Einstein's doctors proposed trying a new and unproven surgery as a final option for extending his life. Einstein refused. I have done my share, he said. It is time to go. I will do it elegantly.

As far as our propositions are certain, they do not say anything about reality, and as far as they do say anything about reality, they are not certain Albert Einstein (as cited in Schumpeter, 1991)

The [quantum] theory reminds me a little of the system of delusions of an exceedingly intelligent paranoiac.

What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility towards the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos.

Non ho alcun talento particolare, sono solo appassionatamente curioso.

The purpose of mechanics is to describe how bodies change their position in space with 'time'.

Time is bunk.

Einstein once quipped that time's only purpose was to make sure that everything didn't happen at once.

This led Einstein to postulate that gravity isn't a force at all, but a geometric property, the warping of the fabric of space-time itself.

Einstein had famously said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

I assume you're familiar with quantum entanglement. Everything in the universe is connected in some way with every other thing. Drove Einstein crazy. And quantum physics suggests that the universe is shaped by consciousness rather than the other way around. Another point that can make even the most rational physicist spiritual. The state of the universe only comes into being when it's observed.
