Albert Einstein Quotes
Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain.

Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us.
