“You could string a hundred endless days together,
My soul would find no comfort from this pain.
You laugh at my tale? You may be educated
But you haven’t learned to love till you’re insane”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

“For there was nothing in his eyes but the black night and the cold stars.”
― Susanna Clarke, The Sandman: Book of Dreams

“And he misses her
Like a wind starved sail
He sits knowing what direction to go
But the current keeps pulling him
Down river.”
― Rumi

“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.

I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.

I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?

I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Rumi
