Here's a quote from Einstein I found: [/COLOR]
"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."
[/COLOR] War is a terrible thing. We need a One World Government to end wars and learn how to harvest the energy of the sun so that we can go to the stars. [/COLOR]

Source? I want to be sure it's not one of those quotes someone came up with and attributed to Einstein because people will associate the name with intellectual authority.

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Odds are good it's an actual quote, seeing that Einstein was a huge proponent of global government.

I didn't actually know this. The bit about One World Government [/COLOR] is mine.

It's likely because it's not dissimilar from his actual face.
