You Can’t Blame Gravity for Falling in Love.
In this iconic image, Albert Einstein represents the fun in science. It is called ‘You Can’t Blame Gravity for Falling in Love’ because, ‘Love has no boundaries. Neither does Gravity. They work hand in hand. So, that’s why Einstein’s quote is probably one of the most beautiful quotes to express this feeling; that we as humans crave for within ourselves, with others, and with the work we try to do.’
