“Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.”

Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and Aphorism (1937), p. 38, but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
Likely origin: Aphorism (1937), p. 38
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "Body and soul are not two different things, but only…," which centers on different, things, different. A concrete trail points toward Einstein, but the exact English form remains unconfirmed; the page therefore labels it as attributed to him while preserving its science and friendship context.
When to use it
- Use "Body and soul are not two different things, but only…" in a science discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of different with things in a lesson, essay, or editorial note before drawing a conclusion.
- Before sharing it as Einstein's exact words, display the attribution caveat and follow the evidence link recorded on the page.
