For sometimes under ruins one finds treasure.”

“The sages are the center of the compass of existence; but
Love knoweth that, in this circle, they head-revolving are.”

“Art is the conversation between lovers.
Art offers an opening for the heart.
True art makes the divine silence in the soul
Break into applause.
Art is, at last, the knowledge of
Where we are standing –
Where we are standing
In this Wonderland
When we rip off all our clothes
And this blind man's patch, veil,
That got tied across our brow.
Art is the conversation between lovers.
True art awakes the
Extraordinary
Ovation.”

“In love, the Sufi meeting house
And wine-shop are one place;
As are all places where we find
The loved one's radiant race;
And what the Sufis make a show of
Can be found equally
Among the monks, before their cross,
Within a monastery.”
― Faces of Love: Hafez and the Poets of Shiraz
