BEST QUOTES ON IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY, MUSIC, BEING AGAINST AUTHORITY- ALBERT EINSTEIN

ALBERT EINSTEIN QUOTES ABOUT IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY, MUSIC, BEING AGAINST AUTHORITY:


"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination."

"This delicate little plant [curiosity], 

aside from stimulation, stands mainly 
in need of freedom."

"I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking."

"True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist."

"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."

"The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

"I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards."

"I am certain that it is the mystery of not understanding that attracts people; it impresses them with the aura and magnetism of mystery."

"The great moral teachers of humanity were, in a way, artistic geniuses in the art of living."

"There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance."

"The more a man is imbued with the ordered regularity of all events the firmer becomes his convictions that there is no room left by the side of this ordered regularity for cause of a different nature."

"The development of science and of the creative activities of the spirit in general requires still another kind of freedom, which may be characterized as inward freedom. It is this freedom of the spirit which consists in the independence of thought from the restrictions of authoritarian and social prejudices as well as from unphilosophical routinizing and habit in general."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day."

"People like you and me never grow old. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born."

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."

"Music doesn’t influence research work, but both are nourished by the same sort of longing, and they complement each other in the satisfaction they offer."

"As to Schubert, I have only this to say: play the music, love – and keep you mouth shut."

"This is what I have to say about Bach’s life and work: listen, play, love, revere – and keep your mouth shut."

"Mozart’s music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe."

"I took violin lessons from age 6 to 14, but had no luck with my teachers, for whom music did not transcend mechanical practicing, I really began to learn only when I was about 13 years old, mainly after I had fallen in love with Mozart's Sonatas."

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."

"Without creative personalities able to think and judge independently, the upward development of society is as unthinkable as the development of the individual personality without the nourishing soil of the community."

"A big fat book full of colored drawings by Japanese children lies always on my table."

"A country becomes really a soul only in consciously serving the intellectual life."

"The theme that I recognize in Galileo’s work, is the passionate fight against any kind of dogma based on authority."

"Suspicion against every kind of authority grew out of this experience, an attitude which has never again left me."

"Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."

Thank you all for accepting me. Thank you very much. Well, I always start my talk with some disclaimer. And that disclaimer is that I never claimed to be a motivational speaker. Yes, I do speak. But I feel like a storyteller. Because where ever I go I share a story with everyone. I believe in the power of words. Many people speak before they think. But I know the value of words.

They call it a weakness, I call it strength. They call m

She was keen on completing her education and used Bharadi tree leaves to write as the family could not afford a slate. Her early marriage put an end to her desire to study. She got married at a tender age of 10 to a 30-year old man. Her abusive husband beat her up and threw her out of the house when she was 20 and nine-months pregnant. She gave birth to a baby girl in a cow shelter outside their house the same day and walked a few kilometres in that condition to her mother’s place, who refused to give shelter to her. “ I cut the umbilical cord with a sharp-edged stone lying nearby ,” she recalls. The incident deeply affected her and she thought of committing suicide, but gave up that thought and started begging at railway platforms for food to look after her daughter. As she spent more time begging, she realized t
