Rumi Quotes

Go on. Get drunk.""Either give me more wine or leave me alone.""Lovers have heartaches that can’t be cured by drugs or sleep or games, but only by seeing their beloved.""Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.""Whatever purifies you is the right path, I will not try to define it.""Let go of your mind and then be mindful. Close your ears and listen.""The world is a mountain, in which your words are echoed back to you.""All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace.""Anything which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be power, wealth, hunger, ego, greed, laziness, love, ambition, hate or anything.""Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.""Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious."
