"We have not come here to take..." - Quote by Hafez
We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy.

“When all your desires are distilled; You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy.”
“How seamless seemed love and then came trouble!”
“Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.”

“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.”
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.”
“Do you know I don't know how one can walk by a tree and not be happy at the sight of it? How can one talk to a man and not be happy in loving him! Oh, it's only that I'm not able to express it...And what beautiful things there are at every step, that even the most hopeless man must feel to be beautiful! Look at a child! Look at God's sunrise! Look at the grass, how it grows! Look at the eyes that gaze at you and love you!”
