Anna George DeMille, daughter of Henry George (and, by the way, mother of choreographer Agnes DeMille) shared this letter from Albert Einstein, in the May-June 1934 issue of Land and Freedom.

I thank you for your great friendliness. I have already read Henry George’s great book and really learnt a great deal from it. Yesterday evening I read with admiration he address about Moses. Men like Henry George are rare unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keeness, artistic form and fervent love of justice. Every line is written as if for our generation. The spreading of these works is a really deserving cause, for our generation especially has many and important things to learn from Henry George.

With friendly greetings, A. EINSTEIN.

The other Einstein quote that rings in my ears is the one which talks about insanity: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
