E Idea Of A Personal God Is Quite Alien To Me And Seems Even Naive. However, I Am Also Not A "freethinker" In The Usual Sense Of The Word Because I Find That This Is In The Main An Attitude Nourished Exclusively By An Opposition Against Naive Superstition. My Feeling Is Insofar Religious As I Am Imbued With The Consciousness Of The Insuffiency Of The Human Mind To Understand Deeply The Harmony Of The Universe Which We Try To Formulate As "laws Of Nature." It Is This Consciousness And Humility I Miss In The Freethinker Mentality. Sincerely Yours, Albert Einstein.

We Know Nothing At All. All Our Knowledge Is But The Knowledge Of Schoolchildren. The Real Nature Of Things We Shall Never Know.
