Titolo: Diamo voce all intelligenza (3rd and Ultimate thread)

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein (thx Amleto)
  a.. "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more 
violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in 
the opposite direction."
  b.. "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
  c.. "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."
  d.. "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
  e.. "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."
  f.. "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
  g.. "The only real valuable thing is intuition."
  h.. "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
  i.. "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
  j.. "God is subtle but he is not malicious."
  k.. "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
  l.. "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
  m.. "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."
  n.. "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."
  o.. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
  p.. "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
  q.. "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak 
minds."
  r.. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
  s.. "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 
eighteen."
  t.. "Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's 
living at it."
  u.. "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
  v.. "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
  w.. "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates 
empirically."
  x.. "The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday 
thinking."
  y.. "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological 
criminal."
  z.. "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by 
understanding."
  aa.. "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is 
comprehensible."
  ab.. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used 
when we created them."
  ac.. "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he 
learned in school."
  ad.. "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its 
own reason for existing."
  ae.. "Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure 
you mine are still greater."
  af.. "Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the 
present, but an equation is something for eternity."
  ag.. "If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; 
y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
  ah.. "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm 
not sure about the the universe."
  ai.. "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not 
certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
  aj.. "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and 
Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
  ak.. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World 
War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
  al.. "In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, 
above all, be a sheep."
  am.. "The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's 
no risk of accident for someone who's dead."
  an.. "Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a 
cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans 
themselves."
  ao.. "Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome 
nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate 
them!"
  ap.. "No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to 
explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological 
phenomenon as first love?"
  aq.. "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable 
superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to 
perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
  ar.. "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics 
and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for 
politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation 
stands forever."
  as.. "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of 
thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If 
only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
  at.. "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from 
mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not 
thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously 
uses his intelligence."
  au.. "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is 
the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a 
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as 
good as dead: his eyes are closed."
  av.. "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, 
education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would 
indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment 
and hope of reward after death."
  aw.. "The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more 
certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie 
through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but 
through striving after rational knowledge."
  ax.. "Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. 
That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the 
distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly 
persistent illusion."
  ay.. "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull 
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you 
understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals 
here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
  az.. "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, 
whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me 
that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of 
any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
  ba.. "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is 
escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, 
from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered 
nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective 
perception and thought."
  bb.. "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned 
my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the 
spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be 
done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, 
how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be 
a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the 
cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
  bc.. "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part 
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings 
as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his 
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to 
our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our 
task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of 
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its 
beauty."
  bd.. "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that 
can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

E' un po' come essere anticonformisti.. si segue al contrario la

Tu cambiando sempre il nome diventi "Quello che cambia sempre il nome"
:P non fuggiremo mai alle definizioni.
Buon Natale anche a te, uomo che conosce il potere del Nome :)
