In this quote, Albert Einstein challenges the validity of racial classifications by stating that all human beings are a mixture of various ethnicities.

A cleric who loses his faith abandons his calling; a philosopher who loses his redefines his subject.
But nobody ever forgot anything, not really, though sometimes they pretended, when it suited them. Memories were permanent.
