"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 feelings as something seperated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
"It's strange that words are so inadequate.
Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath,
So the lover must struggle for words." ~T. S. Eliot
