AQS in German, signed “A. Einstein, 1930,” on an off-white 7.5 5.25 sheet, in full [translated]: “Only longing makes search successful.” Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder. In fine condition, with two small bits of archival tape to extreme edge. In 1930, Einstein developed a strong interest in pacifism. He signed a manifesto for world disarmament sponsored by the Woman's International League for Peace and Freedom and, during a famous speech in New York in December, insisted that if two-percent of those called for military service refused to fight, governments, unable to imprison such a populace, would become powerless. An exceptional quote from a notably formative period in Einstein’s career.
