Einstein was articulate and well-read, a lover of classical music, and it was he who said, I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world

Albert Einstein was not only a brilliant scientist but also a well-rounded individual who appreciated the arts, particularly classical music. His perspective on creativity and intellect reflects a profound truth about human potential. He famously stated that while knowledge is finite, imagination has no boundaries, underscoring the importance of creativity in understanding the world.

This idea resonates strongly with Azar Nafisi's book "The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books," where she explores the role of imagination in literature and society. Nafisi highlights how imagination enables us to transcend limitations and engage with the world more deeply, echoing Einstein's belief in its supremacy over mere knowledge.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
