Rumi Quotes

the ones which made me think or with Rumi, 

I might say- the ones which I came across...

I started looking for you, not knowing 
how blind that was.

They're in each other all along.”

And the difference between them.”

-“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing 

and rightdoing there is a field.

the world is too full to talk about.”

Live where you fear to live. 
Destroy your reputation. 
Be notorious.”

but against the dust in it.”
