Quote

Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull into a cup for others to drink wine from. In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man, who doesn't know what he's about to do!

Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your own prison.
Rumi

No more words. In the name of this place we drink in with our breathing, stay quiet like a flower. So the nightbirds will start singing.
Rumi

Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.
Rumi

I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.

What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Rumi

Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.

Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!

When there's no sign of hope in the desert, so much hope still lives inside despair. Heart, don't kill that hope.

Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
Rumi
Image
If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.
Rumi
Image
Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.
Rumi

On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi

A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
Rumi
Image
Oh Beloved, take me. Liberate my soul. Fill me with your love and release me from the two worlds. If I set my heart on anything but you let fire burn me from inside. Oh Beloved, take away what I want. Take away what I do. Take away what I need. Take away everything that takes me from you.
Rumi

The undisciplined man doesn't wrong himself alone- he sets fire to the whole world.
Rumi
