this guy was amazing, and i
admire him immensely
did you know that he was also a profound and accomplished
philosopher...
and spent much of his time thinking about religion, the world, and
the human condition?

here are some of my favorite quotes, with real relevance to our
world today:
"it has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded
our humanity"
"it seems two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity,
but i'm not sure yet about the universe"
"you see, any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex,
and more violent...but it takes real genius and a lot of courage to
move things in the opposite direction"
"man 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"
