You must be cutting the quote. Einstein wrote a letter to his son where he talked about persistence. Learning mathematics or physics to a degree that allows you to make breakthroughs takes extreme persistence. IQ only lubricates the brain. No replacement for hard work. Not every discovery is borne of speed genies, much comes from depth. The difference between calculating and creating is about depth.
- duncanawoods 10y agoIts from an interview: E: “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.” I: “Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?” E: “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/01/01/einstein-imagination/ http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/01/01/einstein-imagination...
