When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.
Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
