A human being is part of the 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 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, 1950
