We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:
...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. --Albert Einstein
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. --Albert Einstein
All The Best,
William Einstein Shakespeare :)
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. --Albert Einstein
