About
"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time
and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something
separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of 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 the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being
is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained
liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of
thinking if humanity is to survive."
-Albert Einstein
