More Quotes by Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi
What you seek is seeking you.
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.
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.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
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.
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
