Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Rumi

Susanna Kaysen
“Suicide is a form of murder - premeditated murder. It isn't something you do the first time you think of doing it. It takes getting used to. And you need the means, the opportunity, the motive. A successful suicide demands good organization and a cool head, both of which are usually incompatible with the suicidal state of mind.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.”
Rumi, Words of Paradise: Selected Poems of Rumi

“Every window in Alcatraz has a view of San Francisco. ”
