"I am almost ashamed to be living in such peace while all the rest struggle and suffer. But after all, it is still the best to concern oneself with eternals, for form them alone flows that spirit that can restore peace and serenity to the world of humans."
"Never regard your study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs."
"Give most of your time to some practical work as a teacher or in another field which agrees with your nature, and spend the rest of it for study. So you will be able, in any case, to lead a normal and harmonious life even without the special blessings of the Muses."
Would I care less if it wasn't Einstein who uttered these words?
