“Be crumbled.
So wild flowers will come up where you are.
You have been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.”
― Rumi

“Let yourself be sliently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
― Rumi

“A single word can brighten the face
of one who knows the value of words.
Ripened in silence, a single word
acquires a great energy for work.
War is cut short by a word,
and a word heals the wounds,
and there’s a word that changes
poison into butter
and honey.
Let a word mature inside yourself.
Withhold the unripened thought.
Come and understand the kind of word
that reduces money and riches to dust.
Know when to speak a word
and when not to speak at all.
A single word turns the universe of hell
into eight paradises.
Follow the Way. Don’t be fooled
by what you already know. Be watchful.
Reflect before you speak.
A foolish mouth can brand your soul.
Yunus, say one last thing
about the power of words –
Only the word “I”
divides me from God.”
― Yunus Emre

“Aşk ki vardır, gerisi vesairedir. Senden özge söz söylemek ve aşktan başka konu söyleşmek beyhude zaman öldürmektir. Bu yüzden söz burada bitmiş sayılır.”
― İskender Pala, Aşkname
