...We can never have enough of Nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and Titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and decaying trees, the thunder cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander. --Henry David Thoreau

Einstein's Theory of relativity is generally considered to be
abstract and
mind-boggling. One is reminded of an anecdote wherein Einstein himself
explains in a lighter vein how the theory can be understood even by a
layman when properly explained in his language :

"Once I was walking with a blind friend of mine. The day was hot and I
said I would enjoy a nice cool drink of milk.
`Milk?' asked my friend. `Drink I understand, but what is milk?'
`A white liquid,' I explained.
`Liquid, I understand, but what is white?'
`The colour of swan's feathers.' I said.
`Feathers, I understand, but what is a swan?'
`A bird with a crooked neck.'
`Neck, I understand, but what is crooked?'
At this, I gently took his arm and straightened it. `That is
straight,' I
told him. Then I bent his arm at the elbow and told him, `That is
crooked.'
`Oh!' exclaimed my blind friend, `now I understand what you mean by
milk."
