I was dead, then alive. Weeping, then laughing. The power of love came into me, and I became fierce like a lion, then tender like the evening star.

More quotes by Rumi
Why set your heart on a piece ofearth,seek out the source which shines forever.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
Dance until you shatter yourself.
Rumi
Although you see the pit, you cannot avoid it.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?
Rumi
I honor those who try to rid themselves of any lying, who empty the self and have only clear being there.
Rumi
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.
Rumi
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.
Rumi
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
Rumi
Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.
Rumi
How far is the light of the moon from the moon? How far is the taste of candy from the lip?
Rumi
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem!
Rumi
God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don't try to end it. Be your note.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
Rumi
We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Rumi
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi
