For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to surv

Summary

This quote suggests that being the class clown was a defense mechanism for a Catholic child attending a strict parochial school. It implies that the child faced bullying from fellow classmates, who were not the source of physical punishment (as administered by the nuns). By using humor as a coping strategy, the child aimed to deflect attention and potentially gain acceptance or avoid further mistreatment from their peers. The quote highlights the importance of humor as a survival tool in challenging environments.

How good is it to remember one's insignificance: that of a m

How good is it to remember one's insignificance: that of a man among billions of men, of an animal amid billions of animals; and one's abode, the earth, a little grain of sand in comparison with Sirius and others, and one's life span in comparison with billions on billions of ages. There is only one significance, you are a worker. The assignment is inscribed in your reason and heart and expressed clearly and comprehensibly by the best among the beings similar to you. The reward for doing the assignment is immediately within you. But what the significance of the assignment is or of its completion, that you are not given to know, nor do you need to know it. It is good enough as it is. What else could you desire?

Einstein is an analytical mathematician seeking to give a physical interpretation to the conclusions of his mathematical process. In this he is hampered by a load of contradictory and absurd assumptions of the school that he follows, which throws him into all manner of difficulty. Einstein has such a faculty for embracing both sides of a contradiction that one would have to be of the same frame of mind to follow his thought, it is so peculiarly his own. The whole Relativity theory is as easy to follow as the path of a bat in the air at night.
