“My beautiful daughter, you did what the mystics have been preaching for thousands of years. You dived head-first into love. It doesn’t matter what his intentions were. Yours were pure because you are the embodiment of love.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Tajrish

“I have passed by many eyes but only got lost in yours.”
― Mahmoud Darwish

“Rumi said: Whoever is loved is beautiful, but this doesn’t mean that whoever is beautiful is loved.

"There are girls more beautiful than Laila,"they used to tell Majnun. "Let us bring some to you."

"I do not love Laila for her form," Majnun would reply. "Laila is like a cup in my hand. I drink wine from that cup. I am in love with that wine. You only have eyes for the goblet and do not know the wine. A golden goblet studded with precious stones, but containing only vinegar, what use is that to me? An old broken gourd with wine is better in my eyes than a hundred goblets of gold.”
― Rumi, It Is What It Is: The Personal Discourses of Rumi

“THROUGH LOVE all that is bitter will sweet
Through Love all that is copper will be gold.
Through Love all dregs will turn to purest wine
Through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
Through Love the dead will all become alive.
Through Love the king will turn into a slave”
― Rumi, Look! This Is Love
