Ah Einstein, what a guy! I was put off by his infidelity and the fact he cheated on his first wife by falling in love with then marrying his COUSIN but I guess I'll forgive him for his simple, to the point, heart-stopping letter writing. Not only did he conquer modern understanding of space and time, but he can write man! As can you my love, this is such a cheery newsletter celebrating creativity and I love it! P.S totally agree about his answer to happiness, I guess we're both doomed

God, isn't exhausting ambition awful? And to be honest, I had the same feeling about Einstein for a long time haha. Just another example of men being awful but written off as "geniuses." This was the first time I ever dove into his letters that weren't all about his infidelity and it was - unsurprisingly - fascinating.
