    “SOWING LIGHTNING

    Seize
    Bolts of lightning from the sky
    And plant them in fields of life.

    They will grow like tender sprouts of fire.
    Charge somber thoughts
    With unexpected flash,
    You, my lightning in the soil!”
    ― Visar Zhiti, The Condemned Apple: Selected Poetry

    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

    “The choices we’re working with here are a block universe, where past, present and future all coexist simultaneously and everything has already happened; chaos, where anything can happen and nothing can be predicted because we can’t know all the variables; and a Christian universe in which God made everything and it’s all here for a purpose but we have free will anyway.”
    ― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
