Quote by Albert Einstein

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us closer to the secret of the 'Old One.' I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice.

Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice

Summary

In this quote, the speaker expresses a sentiment of skepticism towards quantum mechanics while indirectly questioning its completeness. They acknowledge the grandeur of the theory but believe that it falls short in uncovering the true nature of the universe, which they refer to as the 'Old One.' They reject the idea that this 'Old One' leaves things purely to chance or plays dice with reality, expressing their conviction that there must be a deeper understanding beyond what quantum mechanics currently provides.

I do not think that religion is the most important element. We are held together rather by a body of tradition, handed down from father to son, which the child imbibes with his mother's milk. The atmosphere of our infancy predetermines our idiosyncrasies and predilections.

Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong, or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve, by better nutrition and better exercise.

Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.
