I love quotes by Einstein. My favourite is:

"The world is a tragedy to those who feel and a comedy to those who think."

"Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former."

Indeed, from what we gather, the known universe is still rather small compared to the rest of it, but signs point towards the universe actually being finite. And throughout all this science and discovery a lot of humans remain shackled in ignorance and stupidity. So here's a quote for Einstein:

"Einstein was right about two things: the speed of light and human stupidity, and we're not absolutely sure of the former just yet."
