A human being is a part of a whole

“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 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
