…all things, in their inmost reality, testify to the revelation of the names and attributes of God within them. Each according to its capacity, indicateth, and is expressive of, the knowledge of God. So potent and universal is this revelation, that it hath encompassed all things, visible and invisible. Thus hath He revealed: "Hath aught else save Thee a power of revelation which is not possessed by Thee, that it could have manifested Thee? Blind is the eye which doth not perceive Thee."

- Baha'u'llah, The Kitáb-i-Íqán, p. 102

O ye handmaids of the Lord! In this century - the century of the Almighty Lord - the Day-Star of the Realms above, the Light of Truth, shineth in its meridian splendour and its rays illuminate all regions. For this is the age of the Ancient Beauty, the day of the revelation of the might and power of the Most Great Name - may my life be offered up as a sacrifice for His loved ones.

- Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 66
