expensive rooms on the ship, Einstein refused and said he would rather travel on deck
than accept any special favours

.
3. Einstein impressed everybody as being a very happy man. He said he was
happy because he didn't want anything from anybody. He didn't want money or titles
or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work, his
violin and his boat. Einstein's violin brought him more joy than anything else in life.
He said he often thought in music.
4. Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which seemed a flight of imagination
2
to
many at first, is now the cornerstone of modem physics. Many physical phenomena
could never be explained without the Theory of Relativity. Einstein said that there
were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity, although
more than nine hundred books had been written trying to explain it. He himself
explained relativity by this very simple illustration: "When you sit with a nice girl for
an hour, you think it is only a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute,
you think it is an hour. Well, well - so that's relativity. It sounds all right to me; but if
you don't believe me and would like to try it out, I'll be glad to sit with the girl if
you'll sit on the stove."
5. Mrs. Einstein said that even she didn't understand the Theory of Relativity;
but she understood something that is more important for a wife; she understood her
husband. Mrs. Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didn't
like it in his living. He did whatever he wanted to, whenever he wanted to, he had
only two rules of conduct
2
. The first was: don't have any rules whatever. And the
second was: be independent of the opinions of others.
