More quotes by Rumi
Even when tied in a thousand knots, the string is still but one.
Rumi
You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.
Rumi
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction is like the sling, it is not under control.
Rumi
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover, and then are taken off. That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath, is the sweetness that comes after grief.
Rumi
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage.
Rumi
Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting.
Rumi
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you?
Rumi
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
Rumi
Your happy songs bring to me the scent of Heaven. Please keep singing!
Rumi
The breath of the flute player: does it belong to the flute?
Rumi
Oh you, unceasing sun, to me Your particles communicate The luminous essence of God, Are you our God? I do not know. Intoxicated, I say nought, Bewitched by the magic potion. I cannot differentiate Between my drunk and sober state.
Rumi
Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.
Rumi
The ocean of the body crashes against the ocean of the heart. Between them is a barrier they cannot cross.
Rumi
You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.
Rumi
I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, 'Put this design in your carpet!'
Rumi
What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
Stars burn clear all night till dawn. Do that yourself, and a spring will rise in the dark with water your deepest thirst is for.
Rumi
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.
Rumi
My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.
Rumi
