“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling 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

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
― Plato

“First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”
