Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment… – Rumi, translated by Edward Henry Whinfield

Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to. Don’t try to see through the distances. That’s not for human beings. Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move. – Rumi

When your love contracts in anger, the atmosphere itself feels threatening. But when you’re expansive, no matter what the weather, you’re in an open, windy field with friends. – Rumi

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. – Rumi, as interpreted by Coleman Barks
