ex Albert Einstein

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “universe,” a part limited in time and space He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal decisions and to affections for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
