Walter Isaacson Quote

This wariness of authority reflected the most fundamental of all of Einstein’s moral principles: Freedom and individualism are necessary for creativity and imagination to flourish. He had demonstrated this as an impertinent young thinker, and he proclaimed the principle clearly in 1931. I believe that the most important mission of the state is to protect the individual and to make it possible for him to develop into a creative personality, he said.69
