Theory of relativity

Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore.

Quoted in P. A. Schilpp, Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist (Evanston 1949)

Idea of God

The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously

letter to Hoffman and Dukas, 1946

Einstein on God

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

letter March 24, 1954

Pure geometry and real object

The concept true does not tally with the assertions of pure geometry, because by the word true we are eventually in the habit of designating always the correspondence with a real object; geometry, however, is not concerned with the relation of the ideas involved in it to objects of experience, but only with the logical connection of these ideas among themselves.
