Thanks for sharing the link. The book that includes the published version of this essay, Out of My Later Years, was on my living room bookshelf just now. My late dad bought the book in April 1951 during his college days, as he studied the philosophy of science, a topic Einstein wrote a lot about. It's very interesting to hear these words read in Einstein's own voice. I ran downstairs to bring the book up next to my computer as the audio was playing. (And now I know how "Euclidean" is pronounced in German, as I had guessed just the other day while thinking about the pronunciation of the name "Euler.")
Another passage from Einstein, also from a book I had at home growing up, can be found on my personal website[1], where Einstein describes his school experiences in a quotation from his longest autobiographical writing.
