“A human being is part of the whole, called by us Universe. A part limited in time and space, he (she) experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion from his consciousness. Striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion; not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the one obtainable measure to achieve peace of mind.”
--Albert Einstein
