• No radiant pearl which crested Fortune wears,
  No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's ears,
  Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn,
  Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn,
  Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows
  Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.

  Beauty, Stars, Night

• The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men.

  Albert Einstein

  Beautiful, Death, God

  Quoted in Philipp Frank Einstein: His Life and Times (1947), ch.12, section 5.
