You run back and forth listening for unusual events, peering into the faces of travelers. Why are you looking at me like a madman? I have lost a friend. Please forgive me.

More quotes by Rumi
What you have despised in yourself as a thorn opens into a rose.
Rumi
Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.
Rumi
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!
Rumi
If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.
Rumi
In this earth, in this immaculate field, we shall not plant any seeds except for compassion, except for love.
Rumi
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Rumi
Be an empty page, untouched by words.
Rumi
There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
Rumi
In your beauty, how to make poems.
Rumi
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
The branch might seem like the fruit's origin: In fact, the branch exist because of the fruit.
Rumi
There’s nothing left of me. I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight.
Rumi
There is someone who looks after us from behind the curtain. In truth we are not here, this is our shadow.
Rumi
Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say.
Rumi
When you go through a hard period, When everything seems to oppose you, ... When you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, NEVER GIVE UP! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!
Rumi
Through love all that is bitter will be sweet.
Rumi
If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.
Rumi
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
Rumi
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
I become a waterwheel, turning and tasting you, as long as water moves.
Rumi
