Rumi

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

“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.”

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

“This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.”

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
