Les reptiles
Voici comment Einstein les décrit, dans une lettre à Marie Curie :
“Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don’t read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom it has been fabricated.
With most amicable regards to you, Langevin, and Perrin, yours very truly,
A. Einstein
PS I have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in Planck’s radiation field by means of a comical witticism, naturally under the constraint that the structure’s motion follows the laws of standard mechanics. My hope that this law is valid in reality is very small, though.”

Si tu veux pas t'érafler les coudes, continue de pédaler su' ta bécane
Un classique. Je voulais publier cela, puis j'ai réalisé que je l'avais déjà fait.
Il est bon de s'en souvenir.

Bien d'accord
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

P.S. - J'ai tenté de m'assurer de la véracité de l'origine. De plus, pas plus tard que tantôt, sur Facebook, j'ai même débusqué une citation attribuée à un mauvais auteur.

Brave Einstein
« Il n'y a que deux façons de vivre sa vie : l'une en faisant comme si rien n'était un miracle, l'autre en faisant comme si tout était un miracle. »
