"Pain is a treasure, for it contains..." - Quote by Rumi

“I should be suspicious of what I want.”

“The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction; is like the sling, it is not under control.”

“Treasure is stored in the ruined places.Do not break the hearts of the poorand heartbroken people”

“You have so much pain inside yourself that you try & hurt yourself on the outside because you want help.”

“The cure for pain is in the pain.”

“Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.”

“We were built to fall apart and fall back together.”

“Criticism can bother you, but you should be more bothered if there’s no criticism. That means you’re too safe”

“Sometimes I think I was more in control of my life years and years ago, and yet one should make progress; one should learn more every year and become…well, if not happier, then calmer and more able to handle your problems. But I’m not. Sometimes I just seem to make more problems for myself. I do. It makes me feel I haven’t grown up as much as I should have by now.”
