Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison [of separateness] by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born
theoretical physicist best known for
developing the theory of relativity
and for his contributions to quantum theory, work
that earned him the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.
“This quote is an invitation to extend our compassion, not just to our dogs, but to all animals, and to all living creatures and nature. And when we do that, not only do we become better people, but we create a better world.”
