A human being is part of the whole, called by us “universe,”
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 prison,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons close to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison
by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity
and the whole of nature in its beauty.
– Albert Einstein -
