After being honored at a social event, Einstein said, “When I was young, all I wanted and expected from life was to sit quietly in some corner doing my work without the public paying attention to me. And now look what’s happened to me.”
But he never allowed his popularity to dampen his youthful excitement for life’s simple pleasures. Even in retirement, Einstein never stopped thinking about science, visiting his neighboring office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, or writing love songs to the object of his devotion.
While Einstein did not approve of the “cult of individuals,” he did not seem to mind being a celebrity. He and his secretary handled hundreds of mail and visitors every day with an easy attitude that contradicted their high profile. He once wondered aloud during an interview, “Why is it nobody understands me, yet everybody likes me?”
The earthly Einstein, who lost his yacht, had a rocky relationship with his family, and had problems landing his first job, passed away peacefully in a Princeton hospital. Einstein the legend will remain an icon of brilliance for future generations.

A Growing Legacy In Einstein’s Honor
“The only thing that hasn’t changed is the constant work on hard scientific questions. The fascinating magic of that work will continue to my last breath,” Einstein wrote in 1951. Many of his theories were decades ahead of his time, and he didn’t stick around to see if they were eventually proven correct.

Albert Einstein Turned 70 Years Old On March 14, 1949.
To commemorate his birthday, Einstein felt no need. He answered, “It is common knowledge that I was born, and that is all that is required.” Even so, many people went to the trouble of sending telegrams, cards, letters, gifts, and even a fancy birthday cake to celebrate the occasion.
Einstein’s humanity was recalled by those who knew him. He rode the bus or walked to work in the rain, went to see the new kittens in the neighborhood, chatted with carolers on cold winter nights, refused to get his glasses prescription updated, and stopped wearing socks because they always seemed to develop holes. He even wore soft slippers without complaining!
The loss of Einstein was felt around the globe. He specifically requested that neither his workplace nor his home be made into memorials.
