When someone beats a rug,the blows are not against the rug,... - Rumi
"When someone beats a rug,the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it."
"When someone beats a rug,the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it."
"Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."
"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art."
"You are an ocean in a drop of dew,all the universes in a thin sack of blood.What are these pleasures then,these joys, these worldsthat you keep reaching for,hoping they will make you more alive?"
"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."
"Lovers find secret placesinside this violent worldwhere they make transactions with beauty."
