More quotes by Rumi
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity. The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death. Tomorrow, when resurrection comes, The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
Rumi
Nightingales are put in cages because their songs give pleasure. Whoever heard of keeping a crow?
Rumi
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
Rumi
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Rumi
Go to the well of deep Love inside each of Us.
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
LOVE and LOVER live in Eternity. Other desires are substitutes for that way of being.
Rumi
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi
Go my friend bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen.
Rumi
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don't go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don't go back to sleep!
Rumi
You cannot learn about Love, LOVE appears on the wings of grace.
Rumi
What strange beings we are! That sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark, we're afraid of our own immortality.
Rumi
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
Rumi
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Rumi
On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter.
Rumi
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
Rumi
Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.
Rumi
