Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.”
Rumi Jalalud-Din, مثنوی معنوی

Jack Gilbert
“Are the angels of her bed the angels
who come near me alone in mine?
Are the green trees in her window
the color is see in ripe plums?
If she always sees backward
and upside down without knowing it
what chance do we have? I am haunted
by the feeling that she is saying
melting lords of death, avalanches,
rivers and moments of passing through,
And I am replying, "Yes, yes.
Shoes and pudding.”
Jack Gilbert

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Salvador Dalí
“An elegant woman is a woman who despises you and has no hair under her arms.”
Salvador Dali, The Secret Life Of Salvador Dali
