"I'm enough of an artist
to draw freely on my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world."
"I live in that solitude which is painful in youth,
but delicious in the years of maturity."
"A happy man is too satisfied with the present
to dwell too much on the future."
"Good acts are like good poems.
One may easily get their drift,
but they are not rationally understood."
"The true value of a human being is determined
primarily by how he has attained liberation from the self."
"Why is it that nobody understands me,
yet everybody likes me."
and lastly,
"With fame I become more and more stupid,
which of course is a very common phenomenon."
Albert Einstein
