The Scientific Indian paid a visit to the Albert Einstein Memorial in Washington, D.C..
The quotes engraved on the bench on which Einstein sits:
As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance, and equality of all citizens before the law prevail.
Joy and amazement of the beauty and grandeur of this world of which man can just form a faint notion …
The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.
Einstein knew that the world is not pure. The United States he lived in was deeply flawed, but he knew there were places in the world far worse than this place. He knew he might not be free to choose where to live.
How do you suppose he would feel about today’s America?
