More Quotes by Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi
You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
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.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
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.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
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.
