“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 feeling 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 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 of nature in its beauty.” ―
Albert Einstein
