"Appear as You are, Be as you appear" (Mevlana Rumi)
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free" (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
"O, Marvel! A garden amidst the flames.
My heart has become capable of every form:
it is a pasture for qazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba,
and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran.
I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take,
that is my religion and my faith." (Ibn al-`Arabi, Tarjuman al-Ashwaq)
