Additional quotes by Hafez

با دلارامی مرا خاطر خوش است
کز دلم یک باره برد آرام را

Boy, let yon liquid ruby flow,
And bid thy pensive heart be glad,
Whate’er the frowning zealots say:
Tell them, their Eden cannot show
A stream so clear as Rocnabad,
A bow’r so sweet as Mosellay.

Art is the conversation between lovers. Art offers an opening for the heart. True art makes the divine silence in the soul Break into applause.

Not even seven thousands years of joy can justify seven days of repression. - Hafez
