"The Color of Magic"
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source of contention among you.
