More quotes by Rumi

Rumi
The water has a Water that is driving it The spirit has a Spirit that is Calling it.
Rumi
What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.
Rumi
The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Rumi
Wings of Love long only to fly away from all directions.
Rumi
The lovers of God have no religion but God alone.
Rumi
Your earthly lover can be charming and coquettish but never very faithful. The true lover is the one who on your final day opens a thousand doors.
Rumi
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
Rumi
Those who don't feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don't drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don't want to change, let them sleep.
Rumi
