Tesla about Einsteins theorie of relativity:"his ideas and theories have no base and foundation in reality. He is a fuzzy haired crackpot!"

Once a journalist asked Einstein how it feels to be the most intelligent person on the planet, and he answered:" I don't know, you have to ask Tesla!"

... by the way, most of Einsteins significant work was taken over from Henri Poincaré!

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” Hermann Goering

“It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”

(Doc in Steinbeck's Cannery Row)
