Einstein On The Park

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

“The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits.”

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”

“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.”

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.”

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
― Albert Einstein

Situations

“Style is the answer to everything.
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art

Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art
Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art

Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.

When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun,
that was style.
Or sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style
John the Baptist
Jesus
Socrates
Caesar
García Lorca.

I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water,
or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.”
― Charles Bukowski
