Explain these famous quotes of Einstein with your own words (Use at least 60 words for each using
the corresponding verbal time).
‘’Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.’’ (PAST SIMPLE)
Perhaps he meant that in an act of his career a definition or a formula should be understood to be simple. And
do not make it simple as something that is poorly structured, which should look easy but not for its elaboration,
esp if it had to be complex. This indicates that we must do things with the greatest possible effort and appear to
be easy to enhance even if it is not.

‘’I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and
stones.’’ (PRESENT PERFECT)

I think that this suggests that too many resources are used during wars. And yes, it is so in the last two wars and
they used many resources, it is said that in the third war so many resources will be used that for a fourth war it
will not open or with what to fight. Only with sticks and stones

‘’A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.’’ (PASSIVE VOICE)

I think it refers to how good the internal liberation of a person would be, how cool it would be to free a person
from himself. Perhaps it also refers to freedom of expression when a person is not hooked on his past to himself,
that he can live better not being tied to himself, I feel that what he says is good and interesting

‘’Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.’’ (FUTURE)

This quote is somewhat interesting because it tells you that logic does not give you the imagination that it will
only take you from one point to another as if you were a robot and it is wrong because you have to explore
more and not just be guided by logic. It is also said that the imagination can take you to many things, places,
thoughts and actions. Imagination has a guide or a logic you go where you want to go

‘’It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.’’ (CONDITIONALS)

It may be that he talks about many things that lead us to others and it is true. Our technology takes us to many
parts and has far exceeded human logic, can it affect it? Of course, but you also have to see the good things and
they are the infinite things that technology can achieve if only it were proposed
