30+ memorable quotes of the great Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century and is perhaps the most famous scientist who ever lived. He was only 26 when, in 1905, he published four separate papers that electrified the field of physics and made him world famous.

In 1921 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics but was forced to leave his native Germany and go to the United States in 1933, where he worked for the rest of his days at Princeton University in New Jersey. There he became a central figure in the struggle to limit the use of the atomic bomb and a strong voice against racism and nationalism.
