Quote byAlbert Einstein · 1879–1955
Commonly attributed — not confirmed in an authoritative edition. Cited on Wikiquote to: Mein Weltbild (My World-view) (1931), Variant translations: The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuf.
English (original)
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man.
— Albert Einstein
