"Eblis said, "No man who thinks ill, will hear the truth despite a hundred signs.
When one who fantasises is presented with reason his fantasies increase.
When one talks to such a person, their words become the very cause of that person's fantasy. The crusader's sword is a tool for a thief.
So the response to him is silence and peace; to talk with an idiot is insanity. — Mathnawi-ye ma'nawi II 2714–17

Additional quotes by Rumi

نه شرقییم، نه غربییم نه بییم، نه بحرییم
نه از کان طبیعیم، نه از افلاک گردانم

نه از خاکم، نه از آبم، نه از بادم، نه از آتش
نه از عرشم، نه از فرشم، نه از کونم، نه از کانم

نه از هندم، نه از چینم، نه از بلغار و صقسینم
نه از ملک عراقینم نه از خاک خراسانم

نه از دنیی، نه ازعقبی، نه از جنت، نه از دوزخ
نه از آدم، نه از حوا، نه از فردوس رضوانم

مکانم لا مکان باشد، نشانم بی نشان باشد
نه تن باشد، نه جان باشد، که من از جان جانانم

A strange passion is moving in my head My heart has become a bird which searches in the sky.
Every part of me goes in different directions.
Is it really so that the one I love is Everywhere?
