More Quotes by Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.
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.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
