“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
― John Muir

“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

“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”
― Albert Camus

“It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom
