“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space.

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.”
