Albert EinsteinPure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. 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. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds. Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature. Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal. |
