Blessed art thou for having utterly abolished the idol of self and of vain imagination, and for having rent asunder the veil of idle fancy, through the power of the might of thy Lord, the Supreme Protector, the Almighty, the one Beloved.

- Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 291

Now is the time to show forth the true signs of God, to rend asunder the veils of idle fancy, to promote the Word of God, and to sacrifice ourselves in His path.

- Abdu’l-Bahá, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 201
