“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”
― Rumi

“I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.”
― Rumi

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”
― James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
― Rumi
