The Ultimate Quotable Einstein by Albert Einstein

Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth. and a pen in pocket or hand. But crooked legs and warts he does not have, and so is quite handsome-also there's no hair on his hands, as is so often the case with ugly men. So it really is a pity that you didn't see me.

From a postcard to eight-year-old cousin Elisabeth Ney, who felt neglected because she wasn't invited for a visit with Einstein along with her parents, September 30, 1920. In Calaprice, Dear Professor Einstein, 113. CPAE, Vol. 10, Doc. 157
