"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us – 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 to us.

Our task must me 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
