Albert Einstein quote:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist of jewish origin. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

2. Close.
Actually, the quote is: Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. _(1)_

The creativity quote is: "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." _(2)_

3. Aren't random quotes the funnest thing ever?
It's so cool because you can search and search and then find just the right quote and then, like even if you don't understand it you can still just say it or write it, like on website or something, and then just enjoy the props of quoting someone pretty smart!

I SO love it!
