"Since I was cut from the reedbed..." - Quote by Rumi

“When you notice a fault in your neighbour, search for the same in yourself.”

“Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings.”

“Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the abundance itself.”

“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year.”

“Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.”

“I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again.”

“If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.”

“Throughout it all, I loved her as much as I always had, and I found myself aching for those simpler times of the past. I knew what was happening, of course. As we were drifting apart, I was becoming more desperate to save what we once had shared; like a vicious circle, however, my desperation made us drift apart even further.”

“We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for integration, nor are we fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society.”
