“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” -Albert Einstein

A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways: by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul. nothing is hidden even in the night there will be a time all things will come to light how enlightening the look in your eye the day you realized all you’ve been told is a lie for light and dark are one in the same the creator of good and evil share the same name

nothing is hidden even in the night
there will be a time all things will come to light
how enlightening the look in your eye
the day you realized all you’ve been told is a lie
for light and dark are one in the same
the creator of good and evil share the same name


Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of “world history,” but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die. One might invent such a fable, and yet he still would not have adequately illustrated how miserable, how shadowy and transient, how aimless and arbitrary the human intellect looks within nature. There were eternities during which it did not exist. And when it is all over with the human intellect, nothing will have happened. -Friedrich Nietzsche
