We are still living in a wonderful new world where man thinks himself astonishingly new and "modern." This is unmistakable proof of the youthfulness of human consciousness, which has not yet grown aware of its historical antecedents.

About This Quote

Albert Einstein said, "We are still living in a wonderful new world where man thinks himself astonishingly new and "modern." This is unmistakable proof of the youthfulness of human consciousness, which has not yet grown aware of its historical antecedents." It is only when we look at our past that we can understand how each of us is unique. Those who try to look at the world with rose-colored glasses and think they're better than everyone else will never be happy. We need to be aware of the fact that we all have a lot in common and that we should be thankful that we live in a country that allows us to freely express ourselves and enjoy life as we see fit.
