Einstein was a man who could ask immensely simple questions. And what his work showed is that when the answers are simple too, then you can hear God thinking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What Einstein was able to do was - to use a cliche - think out of the box.
I think it's misleading to use a word like 'God' in the way Einstein did. I'm sorry that Einstein did. I think he was asking for trouble, and he certainly was misunderstood.
During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein's suggestion yielded no decisively new result.
God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don't have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I'm sure he didn't call everybody jerks.
A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts.
If I could have anyone's mind for a day, I really can't think of anyone other than Einstein.
I think the appropriate response for a physicist is: 'I do not find the concept of God very interesting, because I cannot test it.'
Einstein was adamant in rejecting all ideas of a personal god.
Like many intellectuals, he was incapable of saying a simple thing in a simple way.
Einstein, stop telling God what to do!
