"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving."
~Albert Einstein~
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. "
Education is what you have after you have forgotten everything you learned in school.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
If something in me which can be called religious
then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure
of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds..."
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of its mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."
A human being is 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 afffection 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.
