"Where lowland is, that's where water goes...." - Quote by Rumi

“Whenever they rebuild an old building, they must first of all destroy the old one.”

“Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.”

“Peace is wonderful, but / ecstatic dance is more fun / and less narcissistic”

“We are the mirror as well as the face in it.We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity.We are pain and what cures pain both.We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.”

“Music is the only thing that doesn't hurt when it hits you.”

“I grew up in a sad, depressed place. I got out. Poetry saved my life.”

“Beauty rests on necessities.”

“In the course of history, men come to see that iron necessity is neither iron nor necessary.”

“Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.”
