For the Black Mole on the Cheek of my Beloved
I would give the cities of Bokhara and Samarkand.
(Hafiz)
We love God with his own love: awareness of it deifies us.
(Meister Eckhart)
My desire and will were rolled - even as a wheel that moveth equally - by the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.
(Dante)
Love is the one essential thing.
(Sri Ramakrishna)
