Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist and among the most profound thinkers of the 20th century. He engineered
the theory of general relativity and special relativity, and after winning the Nobel Prize in 1921, Einstein was clearly
solidified as one of the most influential people ever. These are some quotes of his that demonstrate that brilliance quite
well.
 “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the
entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is
incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead
to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer

“The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
