Love is a source of many great troubles.
But lacking love
is a disgrace
for travelers upon this path.
Love is the life force of the entire universe--
those who lack love
are already dead.
[Awhad al-Din Kirmani {Awḥad al-Dīn Kirmānī} {1163–1238}, 'Life's Flame', from Love's Alchemy: Poems from the Sufi Tradition]
