There is a beauty in discovery. There is mathematics in music, a
kinship of science and poetry in the description of nature, and
exquisite form in a molecule. Attempts to place different disciplines
in different camps are revealed as artificial in the face of the unity
of knowledge. All literate men are sustained by the philosopher, the
historian, the political analyst, the economist, the scientist, the
poet, the artisan and the musician.

[Manish Modi]

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.
~ Albert Einstein

(1879 - 1955)
