"The most beautiful
and profound emotion
we can experience is the
sensation of the mystical.


It is the source of all true science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer wonder and stand
rapt in awe, is as good as dead.


To know that
what is impenetrable to
us really exists, manifesting itself
as the highest wisdom and the
most radiant beauty,
which our dull faculties
can comprehend only in
their primitive forms --
this knowledge, this feeling,
is at the center of true religion."


"You will hardly find one
among the profounder sort of scientific
minds without a peculiar religious feeling of his own . . . .
His religious feeling takes the form
of a rapturous amazement at the
harmony of natural law,
which reveals an intelligence of such
superiority that, compared with it,
all the systematic thinking and
acting of human beings
is an utterly insignificant reflection."


"Our religion should
consist of a humble admiration
of the illimitable superior spirit
who reveals himself in the slight details
we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds.


The deeply emotional
conviction of the presence
of a superior reasoning Power,
which is revealed in the
incomprehensible universe,
forms our idea of God."


"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that thepath to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge." Meditations of Albert Einstein
