Visionaries

Latest

Change can only occur when the people achieve a vision of the kind of new society that is possible. As we formulate our vision of a new America, let us stand on the shoulders of the visionaries of yesteryear. Below we print one of their quotes:
“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 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. . .” —Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
