Albert Einstein - From the Humanity category:
A human being is a 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.

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)
Albert Einstein - From the Ideas category:

Pablo Casals is a very great artist.

Albert Einstein - From the Religion category:
I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details. (Albert Einstein)
Albert Einstein - From the Religion category:
How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology?
