A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and place. 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 out 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 circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.' - Albert Einstein
