More quotes by Hafez
I know you have a hundred complex cases against God in court, but never mind, let's just get out of this mess.
Hafez
The heart is a thousand stringed instrument that can only be tuned with love.
Hafez
I do not feel like writing verses but as I light my perfume burner with myrrh and jasmine incense, they suddenly burgeon from my heart, like flowers in a garden.
Hafez
What do sad people have in common? It seems they have all built a shrine to the past and often go there and do a strange wail and worship. What is the beginning of Happiness? It is to stop being so religious like that.
Hafez
People say that the soul, on hearing the song of creation, entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song.
Hafez
The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.
Hafez
Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.
Hafez
We are People who need to love, because Love is the soul's life, Love is simply creation's greatest joy.
Hafez
Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life.
Hafez
Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them into a blanket To protect you.
Hafez
How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being otherwise we all remain too frightened.
Hafez
Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
Hafez
Woe to the dupe that yields to Fate!
Hafez
What we speak becomes the house we live in.
Hafez
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music.
Hafez
Come in, my dearFrom that harsh worldThat has rained elements of stoneUpon your tender face.Every soulShould receive a toast from usFor bravery!
Hafez
Not loving is a letting go. Listen, The terrain around here Is Far too Dangerous For That.
Hafez
Dear Ones, Beware of the tiny gods frightened men Create To bring anesthetic relief to their sad days
Hafez
The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.
Hafez
One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.
Hafez
