More From Albert Einstein

Sir, very few people reach posterity. who amongst us may arrive at that destination i presume not to vaticinate. posterity is a most limited assembly. those gentlemen who reach posterity are not much more numerous than the planets.
People Gentleman May
Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? if i wrote "dear sofia" or "dear boomer" or "dear lily's great-aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? of course it would. but the question is: when i wrote "dear lily," was that just a version of "dear myself"? i know it was more than that. but it was also less than that, too

You're looking at me as though i'm weird. my god! are you so out of touch with most of america, most of which believes in the devil? i mean, jesus christ believed in the devil! it's in the gospels! you travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream america that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.

You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. the friend said to the devil, "what did that man pick up?" "he picked up a piece of the truth," said the devil. "that is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "oh, not at all," the devil replied, "i am going to help him organize it."
Love Life Truth
The devil can so completely assume the human form, when he wants to deceive us, that we may well lie with what seems to be a woman, of real flesh and blood, and yet all the while 'tis only the devil in the shape of a woman. 'tis the same with women, who may think that a man is in bed with them, yet 'tis only the devil; and...the result of this connection is oftentimes an imp of darkness, half mortal, half devil.
