Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2.

The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent.
A new idea comes suddenly and in a rather intuitive way, but intuition is nothing but the outcome of earlier intellectual experience.
Was wirklich zählt, ist Intuition
The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.
There will come a point in everyone's life , however, where only intuition can make the leap ahead, without ever knowing precisely how. One can never know why but one must accept intuition as a fact.
Reason is intuition's servant.
The really valuable method of thought to arrive at a logically coherent system is intuition.
The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.
One who scorns the power of intuition will never rise above the ranks of journeyman calculator.
The only real valuable thing is intuition. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery
Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his purpose in this life.
When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.
