“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

“Olmak ya da olmamak, işte bütün mesele bu!
Düşüncemizin katlanması mı güzel
Zalim kaderin yumruklarına, oklarına
Yoksa diretip bela denizlerine karşı
Dur, yeter demesi mi?
Ölmek, uyumak sadece!
Düşünün ki uyumakla yalnız
Bitebilir bütün acıları yüreğin,
Çektiği bütün kahırlar insanoğlunun.
Uyumak, ama düş görebilirsin uykuda, o kötü.
Çünkü, o ölüm uykularında
Sıyrıldığımız zaman yaşamak kaygısından
Ne düşler görebilir insan, düşünmeli bunu.
Bu düşüncedir felaketleri yaşanır yapan.
Yoksa kim dayanabilir zamanın kırbacına?
Zorbanın kahrına, gururunun çiğnenmesine
Sevgisinin kepaze edilmesine
Kanunların bu kadar yavaş
Yüzsüzlüğün bu kadar çabuk yürümesine
Kötülere kul olmasına iyi insanın
Bir bıçak saplayıp göğsüne kurtulmak varken?
Kim ister bütün bunlara katlanmak
Ağır bir hayatın altında inleyip terlemek
Ölümden sonraki bir şeyden korkmasa
O kimsenin gidip de dönmediği bilinmez dünya
Ürkütmese yüreğini?
Bilmediğimiz belalara atılmaktansa
Çektiklerine razı etmese insanları?
Bilinç böyle korkak ediyor hepimizi:
Düşüncenin soluk ışığı bulandırıyor
Yürekten gelenin doğal rengini.
Ve nice büyük, yiğitçe atılışlar
Yollarını değiştirip bu yüzden
Bir iş, bir eylem olma gücünü yitiriyorlar.

W. Shakespeare / Hamlet”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
