"Each has to enter the nest made..." - Quote by Rumi

“Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.”

“Wisdom tells us we are not worthy;Love tells us we are.My life flows between the two.”

“Happy, not from anything that happens. Warm, not from fire or a hot bath. Light, I register zero on a scale.”

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different.”

“The fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation.”

“Those who have not more must be satisfied with what they have.”

“Memory has a spottiness, as if the film was sprinkled with developer instead of immersed in it.”

“Perfection isn't human. Human beings are not perfect. What evokes our love--and I mean love, not lust--is the imperfection of the human being. So, when the imperfection of the real person peaks through, say, 'This is a challenge to my compassion.' Then make a try, and something might begin to get going.”

“Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.”
