The definitive edition of the highly successful collection of quotes and thoughts by Einstein, translated into more than twenty-five languages.

"An irresistible collection. Those studying the life and work of Einstein will find here precious gems to enrich their research and many enigmatic thoughts that contradict the usual portraits of his stance on issues ranging from Zionism to home life." Choice

"All of us who lack the intellectual and spiritual gifts of Einstein owe gratitude to Princeton University Press for 'humanizing' him in this innovative way." Timothy Ferris, New York Times Book Review

"This thrilling book reveals a complete and human Einstein, with a tender yet darker, melancholic side." Physics World

"The equations and texts are the true monument to Einstein, and Kalapraits sets up a real celebration of concise and revealing aphorisms drawn from his lectures and letters. They reveal an Einstein who never struggled for monumental phrases but expressed them in a seemingly effortless and spontaneous way." David E. Rowe, Times Higher Education Supplement
