Islam Abdo

“Brother, stand the pain.
Escape the poison of your impulses.
The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do.
Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun.
Turn away from the cave of your sleeping.
That way a thorn expands to a rose.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.”
― Rumi

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
― Carl Gustav Jung

“This is a subtle truth.
Whatever you love, you are.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi, The Essential Rumi
