Albert Einstein on Compassion
"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 feelings
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. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such
achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner
security."

Letter of 1950, as quoted in The New York Times (29 March 1972) and The New
York Post (28 November 1972)
