In that being able to suitably break it down to a simplistic enough form to be able to explain it to an elderly woman. At which point one has insulted both the elderly and women. I went to the listing of old Albert's quotes, there are about 400 and chose a few I liked, he returned to the theme of the hot something and the pretty girl a couple of times. I saved my favorite for the last one. When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute -- then it's longer than any hour. That's relativity! How do I work? I grope. Imagination is more important than knowledge Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results Lasting harmony with a woman (was) an undertaking in which I twice failed rather disgracefully. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value. Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.
