Albert Einstein
“The life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.”
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling 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 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

Martin Luther King Jr.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Paulo Freire
“How can I enter into dialogue if I always project ignorance onto others and never perceive my own?...How can I enter into dialogue if I am closed to - and even offended by - the contribution of others? At the point of encounter there are neither yet ignoramuses nor perfect sages; there are only people who are attempting, together, to learn more than they now know.”
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Hi Victor,

For some reason I didn't catch your comment until today.

Thanks for your support. It is greatly appreciated! I hope to have a new book out by mid-September, so perhaps you could help spread the word or share my website w/others.

Thanks again,

Jay


Victor Paul Hi, Jay, I like your work, and if there is anyway I can help I will. You can have all my friends on your list no problem.
