  • "We are star stuff -- which has taken its destiny into its own hands."

    -- Carl Sagan

  • "A human being is a part of a 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."

  • (cont)

    "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."

    -- Albert Einstein

  • @RadicalWhig well said

  • no argument there sheeba, suppose a list of ruthless tyrants could be compiled. thank you.

  • @basedball1951 yes, Hitler's...

  • 'untimely death'?, is there a timely one?

  • Truly there is a wonderful, amazing God, and God's name is NATURE. Not a person, not an old man in the sky with a beard, not a judge, or an author of bronze-age books, but NATURE, the ALL-in-ALL, the Pan-theos.

  • awesome :)

  • @WorldPantheism

    Which is why Einstein was a vegetarian. I think Sagan was moving in that direction as well before his untimely death.
