It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into its international affairs, which, without the pressure of fear, it would not do." Albert Einstein 4.4000 average rating Rate this Quote
"Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside.

Albert Einstein 4.4167 average rating Rate this Quote
