QUOTES BY  ALBERT EINSTEIN  ABOUT SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, MATHEMATICS: "Scientists investigate that which already is." "I am not very satisfied with my theory   of thermo electricity."

"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."

"Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population."
