I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.

Albert Einstein born in Württemberg, Germany

Birth0 Comments

Albert-Einstein-10Einstein is born the son of Jewish electrical engineer, Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein. Contrary to popular belief, Einstein excels in maths and science in his early schooling, and his mother encourages a love of music. He is uncomfortable with the principle of absolute obedience and the military drills that dominate the school’s atmosphere, leading to him not enjoying his schooling. Despite stopping his musical endeavors at 17, it remained an important part of his life.

If I hadn’t of studied physics, I probably would have become a musician.
