In summary, the conversation includes the exchange of links containing interesting information about Einstein's famous speech and Nobel Prize lecture, as well as quotes from Einstein. The speaker also mentions their fondness for one particular quote about education. The purpose of the conversation is not clear, as the other person does not respond or engage in further discussion.

I have pasted below some links which I find interesting.In all probability you have sufficient familiarity with the contents of these links. Nevertheless I did not want to miss the delight of pasting them over here.

The first link contains the text of Einstein's famous speech "Fundamental Ideas and Problems in the Theory of Relativity" delivered to the Nordic Assembly of Naturalists at Gothenburg in 1923. The next two contain interesting information regarding the Nobel Prize Lecture of Einstein. And the next one contains some pictures of Einstein[with other scientists]
