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
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
Rumi
Whatever pearl you seek, look for the pearl within the pearl!
Rumi
Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.
Rumi
Whatever you lost through fate, be certain that it saved you from pain.
Rumi
I've said before that every craftsman searches for what's not there to practice his craft.
Rumi
I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
Rumi
God writes spiritual Mysteries on our heart, where they wait silently for discovery.
Rumi
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose.
Rumi
Get yourself out of the way, and let Joy have more space.
Rumi
Someone who does not run toward the allure of love walks a road where nothing lives. But this dove here senses the love hawk floating above, and waits, and will not be driven or scared to safety.
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
Nothing is meaningful except surrendering to love. Do it.
Rumi
The lion is most handsome when looking for food.
Rumi
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
Rumi
True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.
Rumi
I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me.
Rumi
Travel brings power and love back into your life.
Rumi
You have no need to travel anywhere - journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.
Rumi
Let lovers be crazy, disgraceful and wild Those who fret about such things Aren’t in love.
Rumi
The result of my life is no more than three words: I was raw, I became cooked, I was burnt.
Rumi
