When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off you become lame, abandoned by a fantasy. …People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion.

You the one in all, say who I am. Say I am you.
Rumi
I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.
Rumi
The world is nothing but a moment.
Rumi
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!

Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Rumi
People want you to be happy. Don't keep serving them your pain! If you could untie your wings and free your soul of jealousy, you and everyone around you would fly up like doves.
Rumi
The Lover is ever drunk with Love. He is mad. She is free. He sings with delight. She dances in ecstasy. Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything. But once we get drunk on that Love Whatever will be, will be.
Rumi
This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.
Rumi
Whoever has Heart's doors wide open, could see the Sun itself in every atom.
Rumi
I’ve been looking for a long, long time, for this thing called love, I’ve ridden comets across the sky, and I’ve looked below and above. Then one day I looked inside myself, and this is what I found, A golden sun residing there, beaming forth God’s light and sound.
Rumi
I was there in the beginning and I was the spirit of love.
Rumi
O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.
Rumi
Don't look for Love, look for the one looking for Love.
Rumi
I went inside my heart to see how it was. Something there makes me hear the whole world weeping.
Rumi
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Rumi
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
Rumi
Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.
Rumi
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Rumi
All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
