"There is a city in which you..." - Quote by Rumi

“Loosen the bonds of avarice from your hands and neck.”

“Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.”

“For without you, I swear, the town Has become like a prison to me. Distraction and the mountain And the desert, all I desire.”

“Don't listen to their words, fix your attention on their deeds.”

“I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.”

“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.”

“By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.”

“Just never really got into cars and flossin' or never really cared, like I was always the type of person that felt like as long as I make enough money to support my family with this music that's all I really care about. You know what I mean so I don't really buy, I'm just not into like that many material possessions and stuff like that, because at the end of the day, it's just not that important.”

“Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.”
