Innocence Quotes Quotes

“The elixir of eternal life is love, since love is the key to youth. Describing his own spiritual state, Rumi comments:

I am not that kind of handsome youth
Who tomorrow grows old and frail.

Love not only preserves youth but turns the lover into a child, and for this reason, a certain childlike innocence and simplicity characterizes all of the great poets. In the words of Sa'di:

Whoever is close to you possesses all the fortune of youth
He will never turn old since he dwells in seventh heaven.

Exactly the same sentiment is expressed by Hafiz:

However old, heart-weary and incapable I become
The moment I recall your face I become young.

Or again:

The heart of one quickened in love will never die:
Our immortality is recorded in the tablet of the world.”
