"There is no room for hypocrisy. Why..." - Quote by Rumi

“If I gaze at my beloved she may feel embarrassed and if I do not, she will feel neglected. I can see the stars reflecting in the calm water of her face but if I look away I lose my clarity.”

“Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.”

“Learn the alchemy true human beings know. The moment you accept what troubles you've been given the door with open.”

“Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.”

“Don't conform for the sake of pleasing others. Mold yourself into the person that you want to be.”

“The unexamined leader is not worth following.”

“Likewise, every time somebody interjects to speak of my honesty there is someone who quivers inside me.”

“I am always reading immoral books on the sly, and then selfishly trying to prevent other people from having the same wicked good time.”

“I always had an aversion to your apostles of freedom; each but sought for himself freedom to do what he liked.”
