A Quote

The aspiration to truth is more precious than its assured possession. -German playwright and philosopher Gotthold Lessing.
From TheScian Photos

Einstein noted this quote in an autobiographical note he wrote a month before he died [Chapter 26, Subtle is the Lord, Abraham Pias]. The later part of his life was spent in search of a deterministic unified theory to replace the probabilistic quantum theory which he was convinced was incomplete. He did not succeed in his quest.

An old post about the picture.
