I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child. But my intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up.
More Quotes from Albert Einstein:
I have never imputed to Nature a purpose or a goal, or anything that could be understood as anthropomorphic.

This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.Albert Einstein
