  1. The rigid electron is in my view a monster in relation to Maxwell's equations, whose innermost harmony is the principle of relativity.

    as quoted by Dennis Overbye, Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance (2001), Ses propres mots

  2. Oh, that Einstein, always cutting lectures... I really would not believe him capable of it.

    as quoted by Dennis Overbye, Einstein in Love: A Scientific Romance (2001) referring to the development of the theory of relativity, Ses propres mots

  3. It came as a tremendous surprise, for in his student days Einstein had been a lazy dog... He never bothered about mathematics at all.

    as quoted in a conversation with Max Born about the development of the theory of relativity, by Carl Seelig, Albert Einstein: A Documentary, Ses propres mots
