Probable attribution
A source trail connects this quotation to Albert Einstein and Letter to Adrianna Enriques (October 1921), p. 83, but the exact English wording has not been confirmed in a primary text. The attribution is therefore probable rather than definitive.
Likely origin: Letter to Adrianna Enriques (October 1921), p. 83
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
This page records the wording "Study and in general the pursuit of truth and beauty…," which centers on study, general, pursuit. 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 honesty and wisdom context.
When to use it
- Use "Study and in general the pursuit of truth and beauty…" in a honesty discussion, then ask which concrete claim the wording makes.
- Compare its treatment of study with general 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.
