"Think of suffering as being washed...." - Quote by Hafez

“All your wounds from craving loveExist because of heroic deeds.”

“The tide of my loveHas risen so high let me floodoverYou.”

“Now is the time to understand That all your ideas of right and wrong Were just a child's training wheelsTo be laid aside When you finally live With veracity And love.”

“So they speak soothingly about progress and the greatest possible happiness, forgetting that happiness is itself poisoned if the measure of suffering has not been fulfilled.”

“Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.”

“Who does not sometimes envy the good and the brave, who are no more to suffer from the tumults of the natural world, and await with curious complacency the speedy term of his own conversation with finite nature?”

“Artists reach areas far beyond the reach of politicians. Art, especially entertainment and music, is understood by everybody, and it lifts the spirits and the morale of those who hear it.”

“When we cling to pain, we end up punishing ourselves.”

“Allow love to fill the places where anxiety now resides.”
