You are surprised, aren’t you, at the contrast between my fame throughout the world… and the isolation and quiet in which I live here. I wished for this isolation all my life, and now I have finally achieved it here in Princeton.

This quote comes from Philipp Frank’s book, Einstein, His Life and Times . Einstein landed a job at Princeton University in 1933, where he stayed until his death in 1955. Once Hitler took control of Germany in 1933, Einstein bounced around Europe for several months before settling in Princeton, New Jersey. He never returned to Germany.
