“Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe. . . “
-Lennon/McCartney, “Across the Universe”
“Say: O servants! Let not the means of order be made the cause of confusion and the instrument of union an occasion for discord. We fain would hope that the people of Bahá may be guided by the blessed words: ‘Say: all things are of God.’ This exalted utterance is like unto water for quenching the fire of hate and enmity which smouldereth within the hearts and breasts of men. By this single utterance contending peoples and kindreds will attain the light of true unity. Verily He speaketh the truth and leadeth the way. He is the All-Powerful, the Exalted, the Gracious.”
-Baha’u’llah, KITÁB-I-‘AHD (Book of the Covenant), p. 222
