“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
Albert Einstein’s curiosity was his “religion”. He believed that the path toward God was found through a passionate and unending curiosity about the universe and our place in it. No miracle was necessary to see God, for in the very structure of the cosmos was the soul of God.
To cease questioning is to abandon God.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
Seeing beyond knowledge is the realm of our imagination. Simple knowledge is but a tool for the imagination. It is, as far as we know, a uniquely human trait, without which human progress is not possible.
To create a new world it must first be imagined.
“Why is it that nobody understands me, yet everybody likes me.”
-Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein’s genius was as much a product of his heart and imagination as it was pure intellect.
Through his imagination he looked at the world and saw the fundemental underpinnings of space and time. And through his heart he could imagine a world of peace and dignity for every living soul.
Many could not understand, but liked trying, and liked Einstein for seeing beyond the facade of conformity.
“Use for yourself little, but give to others much”
-Albert Einstein
The brilliance of Albert Einstein was his singular, focused, insight into the universe – on the fundamental simplicity of the laws of nature.

A simple truth is a beautiful thing.
“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us_universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings 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 embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
-Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein helped show the way.
“The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
-Albert Einstein
If you don’t think that’s true, just try to change it.
