It goes with a courageous intent to greet the universe as it really is, not to foist our emotional predispositions on it but to courageously accept what our explorations tell us.

About This Quote

This is a quote from Albert Einstein, who was talking about the universe. In this quote, he is saying that we need to look at the universe as it really is, not as we want it to be. Don’t impose our emotional predispositions on it. In other words, if we only see the universe as things that make us sad or happy, then we are misinterpreting reality. There is a lot of truth to this quote.
