Just some interesting quotes from one of life's greatest thinkers:
"I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."

"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."
*****
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
*****
"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."
*****
"Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed."
*****
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
*****
"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death"
*****
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings"
Let us not forget: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and exepecting different results."

Einstein must have read some Oscar Wilde. ;)
Quote from: Oscar Wilde
"Men marry because they are tired, women because they are curious; both are disappointed."
Whatever happened to that genius idea they had for a British sitcom set in Liverpool about a character named Albert Epstein, who was a mix of Albert Einstein and Brian Epstein (famous Beatles manager). Both geniuses in their respective fields, if you ask me...
