• Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow-- it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light.

In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it

Although I may try to describe love, when I experience it, I am speechless. Although I may try to write about love, I am rendered helpless. My pen breaks, and the paper slips away at the ineffable place where lover loving and loved are one. Every moment is made glorious by the light of Love.

  Rumi
