Einstein said this in a 1929 interview with the Saturday Evening Post, at the height of his fame. Coming from a man who had mastered the mathematics of his era, it is not an attack on learning — it is a statement about what learning is for.

Knowledge describes what already exists. Imagination proposes what does not yet exist. Relativity did not emerge from more data; it emerged from a thought experiment about riding alongside a beam of light. Facts are the raw material, but the leap is always imaginative.
