When all your desires are distilled, you will cast just two votes: To love more, and be happy.
By
Hafiz
Hafez (the pseudonym of Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī) was a fourteenth-century Persian poet. His still-celebrated collection of lyric and mystic poems is generally considered the pinnacle of Persian literature, often focusing on divine love, the joys of wine, and religious hypocrisy.
