Additional quotes by Rumi

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

You must ask for what you really want. / Don't go back to sleep. / The door
is round and open. / Don't go back to sleep.
