"I'm dominated by Love, By my passion..." - Quote by Rumi

“Inside the Great Mystery that is, we don't really own anything. What is this competition we feel then, before we go, one at a time, through the same gate?”

“Beyond what we wishand what we fear may happenwe have another life,as clear and free as a mountain stream.”

“The Past, the Future, O dear, is from you; you should regard both these as one.”

“I think everyone should be with who they love.”

“We are all fools in love.”

“Marry me and I'll never look at another horse!”

“Spiritual strength and passion, when accompanied by bad manners, only provoke loathing.”

“The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I love her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.”

“Our age is essentially one of understanding and reflection, without passion, momentarily bursting into enthusiasm and shrewdly relapsing into repose.”
