Albert Einstein, in a letter to Max Born during 1920s. "I am escaping to the quiet of my study whenever I can, but I feel like a beast of burden that has been harnessed to a very heavy cart. The world demands my presence, my signature, my opinion on things I do not care about. They are making a monument out of me while I am still breathing, and the monument is slowly crushing the life out of the man underneath. I miss the days when we were poor and unknown, and the universe belonged to us alone." #education #lit #inspireothers #life
