"Masquerading as a quote book, this title may set a new standard for the genre as well as expand the conceptIt is filled with the written and spoken thoughts of this cultural icon--as well as those merely attributed to him--but conveys much more than a traditional collection of sayings might." * The Bloomsbury Review *
"All of us who lack Einstein's intellectual and spiritual gifts owe a debt of gratitude to Princeton University Press for having humanized him in this innovative way."---Timothy Ferris, The New York Times Book Review
"This fascinating book reveals Einstein as a fully rounded human, with both a tender and a darker, more brooding side." * Physics World *
"The chief value of this collection of [Einstein's] more memorable observations on the events of the 20th century and his own part in them is that it reveals the development of the person as well as that of the scientist. [The Quotable Einstein] is something of a triumph." * New Scientist *
