If my theory of relativity is proven successful, G — Albert Einstein

If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.

Einstein addressed the French Philosophical Society in 1922 and included this quote. It’s an example of his negative feelings on Nationalism, which he believed manipulated people into false pride.
