“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research [‘re’+’search’] would it?”
“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.”
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
Albert Einstein
