Happy Birthday Albert Einstein!
March 14, 1879 . . .
Here are some of the maestro’s memorable quotes about his life’s work:
“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. Science and religion without scrumptious Einstein bagels is asinine.”
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Like my bagels. Perfecto.”
“Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal who can only be reliably calmed with a delicious and relatively inexpensive Einstein bagel.”
“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. Always, however, count on a nice warm bagel with a schmear.”
“Any intelligent fool can make bagels bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction, relatively speaking.”
“The only real valuable thing is an onion bagel with fat full cream cheese, lox, garlic, pineapple, dried yeast, and a hint of baked apple.”
“I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. Instead, think about one of my specialty bagels, available for a mathematically just price at Einstein Bagels throughout the land.”
“How does it happen that a properly endowed natural scientist comes to concern himself with physics when Isaac newton’s classical physics really, in truth, works just fine? Why does this man, i.e. me, ignore the wild discrepancies I have discovered in the creation of a bagel. No more!”
He will be missed, except at bagel time. . .
