George

“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

“On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
