 | "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense." – Rumi |

- citation needed: {{Citation needed|date=November 2011}} (Type in the month and year.)
- citation needed (no date): {{cn}}
- cite a magazine article with a credited author: <ref>{{cite magazine |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |magazine= |location= |publisher= |access-date=}}</ref>

- hidden text: <!--text-->
- insert a photo from Wikimedia commons: [[File:IMAGENAMEHERE.jpg|thumb|right|CAPTIONTEXTGOESHERE]] First is the file name. Second is the word "thumb" which indicates that the image is a thumbnail; which allows for appropriate resizing and bordering (without this code, the image gets placed full resolution, which is bad for most articles). Third is either the word "right" or "left" indicating where you want it to go. Fourth is the caption, which would be the text you want to place under the image. There are other options you can use for sizing and location, and all sorts of stuff, but that's extra stuff and not really necessary. You can read ALL about the full range of image options, and how to code for them, at Wikipedia:Picture tutorial if you wish.
