Not separate

"A human being is part of the whole universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a prison, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."

Albert Einstein
