"Love has come to rule and transform;..." - Quote by Rumi

“Let the beauty we love do what we do.”

“Joy lives concealed in grief.”

“The sweetness and delights of the resting-place are in proportion to the pain endured on the Journey. Only when you suffer the pangs and tribulations of exile will you truly enjoy your homecoming.”

“The Greek epigram intimates that the force of love is not shown by the courting of beauty, but where the like desire is inflamed for one who is ill-favored.”

“I want the people to love me, but I suppose they never will.”

“Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.”

“The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.”

“There should always be some flowering and maturing of the fruits of nature in the cooking process.”

“The event of falling in love... in one high bound it has overleaped the massive wall of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being.”
