"A human being is a part of a 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 consciousnes​s. 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

When dealing with the insane, the best method is to pretend to be sane. Hermann Hesse

The creation of something new is not accomplished​ by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.   Carl Jung
