Additional quotes by Rumi

You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?

‎Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind; dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.

I don't want learning, or dignity, or respectability. I want this music, and this dawn, and the warmth of your cheek against mine.

"Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." As that happens, your soul starts to revive." - Rumi
