Do you think I know what I'm doing? That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself? As much as a pen knows what it's writing, or the ball can guess where it's going next.

More quotes by Rumi
The world's flattery and hypocrisy is a sweet morsel: eat less of it, for it is full of fire. Its fire is hidden while its taste is manifest, but its smoke becomes visible in the end.
Rumi
I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.
Rumi
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
Rumi
I know you're tired but come, this is the way.
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
Don't be the rider who gallops all nightand never sees the horse that is beneath him
Rumi
I have been so naughted in Thy Love's existence that my nonexistence is a thousand times sweeter than my existence
Rumi
On the way there is no harder pass than this: fortunate is he who does not carry envy as a companion.
Rumi
A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.
Rumi
Come, even if you have broken your vow one thousand times, come, yet again, come, come.
Rumi
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Rumi
Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
Rumi
All my feelings have the color you desire to paint.
Rumi
Don't put blankets over the drum! Open completely. Let your spirit ear listen to the green dome's passionate murmur.
Rumi
Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.
Rumi
To a frog that's never left his pond, the ocean seems like a gamble. Look what he's giving up: security, mastery of his world, recognition! The ocean frog just shakes his head. I can't explain where I live, but someday I'll take you there.
Rumi
Love is the vital core of the soul. And of all you see, only love is infinite.
Rumi
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Rumi
Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.
Rumi
Seek the sound that never ceases. Seek the sun that never sets.
Rumi
