“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.

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.”
“Everything must be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.”
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
