Muhammad

“Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly. Let it cut you more deep. Let it ferment and season you as few humans and even divine ingredients can. Something missing in my heart tonight has made my eyes so soft, my voice so tender, my need for God absolutely clear.”
― Hafiz

“These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“All these words are just a front. What I would really like to do is chain you to my body, then sing for days and days and days.”
― Hafiz

“Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.”
― Jalâl ad-Dîn Rûmî, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing
