To be in love is merely to be in a perpetual state of anesth

Summary

This quote suggests that being in love is akin to being under the influence of anesthesia, where one is numbed and protected from pain or reality. It implies that love can serve as a temporary escape from the hardships and challenges of life. However, it also suggests that being in love may cloud one's judgement or cognitive abilities, as anesthesia inhibits rational thinking. In essence, the quote portrays love as a state of blissful ignorance, shielding individuals from the tumultuous nature of the world.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe,

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.
