About This Quote

In this quote, Albert Einstein talks about how he believes that the human brain is the source of all human problems. He asserts that many of our difficulties are self-inflicted and a result of a lack of knowledge. Even if we try to change, we do so in a way that is not right for ourselves and usually result in negative consequences.
