"Intellect in its effort to explain Love..." - Quote by Rumi

“Every door is another passage, another boundary we have to go beyond.”

“Then outwardly you are the small universe! Then inwardly you are the great universe.”

“Treasures and armies do not make a king. A true king is a king within himself.”

“ever since I met you I have admired you more than any girl...I have ever met since...I met you.”

“Men think that it is impossible for a human being to love his enemies, for enemies are hardly able to endure the sight of one another. Well, then, shut your eyes--and your enemy looks just like your neighbor.”

“We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.”

“Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.”

“My mind works . . . two boobs never get me a job.”

“How much more the seeker of abstract truth, who needs periods of isolation, and rapt concentration, and almost a going out of thebody to think!”
