“When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute—and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.”—Albert Einstein

I love this quote and it's variants. Sadly, there is little real evidence that Albert Einstein ever said this but some evidence that his secretary did, possibly at his direction.
