Of your two quotes, the first, from Einstein, reflects the Judaeo-Christian view of the Creator as intrinsically good and constistent, and that the rules that He put in place are discoverable if you look.

The second view from Bohr is reflective of the Islamic worldview that “Allah cannot be ‘caged’”. This viewpoint, that the Creator cannot be “caged” to consistency, is one of the reasons that Islamic science didn’t advance past the 12th century.
