More quotes by Rumi
Pale sunlight, pale the wall. Love moves away. The light changes I need more grace than I thought.
Rumi
I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks.
Rumi
You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance
Rumi
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge of driftwood along the beach, wanting! They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see. Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.
Rumi
When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.
Rumi
Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.
Rumi
Light up the fire of love inside and blaze the thoughts away.
Rumi
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
Rumi
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.
Rumi
To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.
Rumi
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
Rumi
Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear? All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Rumi
Last night I begged the Wise One to tell me the secret of the world. Gently, gently, he whispered, Be quiet, the secret cannot be spoken, It is wrapped in silence.
Rumi
Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek Love lights Her fire from that flame. When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night Love comes and finds a heart entangled in tresses. Beauty and Love are as body and soul. Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.
Rumi
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Rumi
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
Rumi
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Rumi
Love is the bridge between you and everything.
Rumi
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
Rumi
