More Quotes by Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
What you seek is seeking you.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
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.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
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.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
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.
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
