Favorite Einstein quotes

In no particular order, here are my favorite quotes from the most brilliant man ever to grace this planet.
Ensoi....
1.I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child. But my intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up.
2.I can't believe that God plays dice with the universe
3.Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.
4.Is the moon out there even when noone is observing it?
5.I simply imagine it so, then go about to prove it.
6.If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
7.Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
8.It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.
9.If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German, and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
10.Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.
11.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
12.How do I work? I grope.
13.No, this trick won't work. . . . How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
14.Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.
15.Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love.
16.Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far greater.
17.The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
18.Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
