'A human being is part of a whole, called by us
the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest – a kind
of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of
prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection
for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.'
~ Albert Einstein

ReplyDelete:-) The more I find out about him the more I rate what he had to say and how he thought! Good example of reason and imagination working together, I think...
