HIS COMPLETE QUOTE:
"A human being is part of a whole, call by us the "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 affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circles of compassion to embrace to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its entirety."
-- Albert Einstein.
"I am a voice of the voiceless
through me the dumb shall speak
till the deaf worlds' ear be made to hear

till the world shall set things right."
-- Ella Wheeler Wilcox, (1850-1919)
