The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all true science. - All true learning is experience. Everything else is just information. - A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education and social ties. No religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after dead. - Only a life lived for others is worth living. - 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. - The word is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who do nothing about it.
