About this quote

This page records the wording "But then, after all, we are all alike, for we…," which centers on alike, derived, monkey. 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 wisdom and life context.

When to use it

  • Use "But then, after all, we are all alike, for we…" in a wisdom discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
  • Compare its treatment of alike with derived 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.
