Das Werk enthält außerdem religiöse Texte aus der Bibel, dem Koran, von Franz von Assisi und Baha'u'llah sowie Poesie von Shelley, Malory, Terry Waite und Carol Barratt. Eine Zeile des persischen Dichters und Mystikers Rumi beschreibt treffend den ethischen Wert des Werks: "Alle Religionen, alle singen ein Lied: Friede sei mit dir."
