"Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of minor significance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound!?!" Einstein loved flowers; he also loved to play his violin.
There is even a narcissus named for him: the Einstein Narcissus. There is not a violin named for him, though.
He would have made a fine hippie for he never wore socks, even when visiting President Harding. "They get holes in them" he mused. (Private information, shhhh: Einstein wore no socks but President Harding loved (was addicted to) his booze. Besides presidential drinking bouts in the White House during prohibition, in the dark of the night he skulked off to the "Little Green House" on K Street that was set up as a type of speakeasy for the president and his cronies. Keep this quiet, please.)
But remember, above all else: Einstein loved flowers.
Albert Einstein used red roses to accept a job offer from theoretical physicist Max Planck in 1915. The day after the offer of the position of professor at the University of Berlin was made Einstein brought red roses to Plank indicating that he had accepted the position. White roses would have indicated that he had declined the position. How could Einstein have declined? He could teach only as much as he wished, and could focus totally on his relativity theory.
He loved flowers but was a poor gardener..we suppose that that all of that is "relative.”
The writer’s favorite Einstein quote: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former."
