“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.
They’re in each other all along.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi
“An eye is meant to see things.
The soul is here for its own joy.A head has one use: For loving a true love.
Feet: To chase after.Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
for learning what men have done and tried to do.Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
in the looking comes back completely changed.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Night and Sleep
“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi
“I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.The power of love came into me,
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
“You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”

“The very essence of romance is uncertainty.”
— Oscar Wilde
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
― Rumi
“Never belong to a crowd; Never belong to a nation; Never belong to a religion; Never belong to a race. Belong to the whole existence. Why limit yourself to small things? When the whole is available.”
– OSHO
