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!

More quotes by Rumi
I seem restless, but am deeply at ease. Branches tremble the roots are still.
Rumi

Rumi
What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind. Its presence is more beautiful than the stars with more clarity than the polished mirror of your heart.
Rumi
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Rumi
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
Rumi
Every need brings what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child. Having nothing produces provisions. Ask a difficult question, And the marvelous answer appears.
Rumi
Look at Love with the eyes of your Heart.
Rumi
To Love is to reach God.
Rumi
Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.
Rumi
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
Some huge work goes on growing. How could one person´s words matter? Where you walk heads pop from the ground. What is one seed head compared to you? On my death day I´ll know the answer. I have cleared this house, so that your work can, when it comes, fill every room. I slide like an empty boat pulled over the water.
Rumi
And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn't matter. We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
Rumi
To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness.
Rumi
Nothing I say can explain to you Divine Love Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
Rumi
The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
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
