“Where liberty dwells, there is my country”

Happy birthday to Dr. Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955).


“As long as I have any choice, I will only stay in a country where political liberty, tolerance, and equality of all citizens before the law prevail. Political liberty implies the freedom to express one’s political opinions orally and in writing; tolerance implies respect for any and every individual opinion. These conditions do not obtain in Germany at the present time. Those who have done most for the cause of international understanding, among them some of the leading artists, are being persecuted there.”

— Albert Einstein, March 1933
