Additional quotes by Hafez

The Great Secret God was full of Wine last night,
So full of Wine That He let a great secret slip.
He said:
There is no man on this earth
Who needs a pardon from Me — For there is really no such thing,
No such thing
As Sin!

The dimple that thy chin contains has beauty in its round,
That never has been fathomed yet by myriad thoughts profound.

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being - Hafez
