"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 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

A favourite quote - thanks nirmal

Here's another:

"I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it."

I wondered if that was where Byron Katie got the inspiration for the title of her book - Losing the Moon

Big Einstein fan here. I find his theories of relativity/special relativity to be more profound than any religion.
