Earth Day Quick Quote: Albert Einstein

" A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of 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

Yes, I know it's a few days late in terms of Earth Day, but I didn't run across the quote in time for the actual event. But I think it really expresses a lot of what Earth Day is about, so I am sharing it now!
