"Tender words we spoke to one another..." - Quote by Rumi

“I am weary of personal worrying, in love with the art of madness.”

“Pilgrimage to the place of the wise is to find escape from the flame of separateness.”

“Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.”

“You become responsible for a long time for what you've tamed.”

“No longer a stranger, you listen all day to these crazy love-words. Like a bee you fill hundreds of homes with honey, though yours is a long flight from here.”

“One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.”

“A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.”

“Thus they went on living in a reality that was slipping away, momentarily captured by words, but which would escape irremediably when they forgot the values of the written letters.”

“It was my tongue that swore; my heart is unsworn.”
