Albert Einstein:
All Too Human

"When he was once asked if he thought that his theories might ever be proved wrong, he said:"

"'I cannot tell. But should they stand, the Germans will say that I was a German, while the French will say that I was European. Should they be proved wrong, the French will say that I was a German and the Germans will say that I was a Jew.'"
