When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.”
- Albert Einstein

It’s relatively simple. Time contracts when you’re holding the hand of a pretty girl.

-Albert Einstein

Multi-tasking is an illusion. The time/space continuum demands of us that we only do one thing at a time.

-Albert Einstein

We have no idea what the consequences of a life’s work will be. For some it has been unimaginable, relatively speaking.

-Albert Einstein

To the degree that you are certain of reality is the degree to which you do not know what is real. And vice-versa.

It comes soon enough”
-Albert Einstein

Dwell too much on what may happen and you’ll miss what is happening.

But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.”
-Albert Einstein

When an hour is but a minute, and a minute like an eternity.
