“Come against your will' is the toggle of the intellect; 'come willingly' is the spring-time of those who have lost their hearts.”
― Mevlana

“There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that.”
― Mark Twain

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
― Audrey Hepburn

“The sign of being in love’s an aching heart; there is no suffering like the suffering heart. 110 The lover’s suffering’s like no other suffering: love is the astrolabe of God’s own mysteries. No matter whether love is of this world or of the next, it steals us to that world. Whatever words I say to explain this love, when I arrive at love, I am ashamed. Though language gives a clear account of love, yet love beyond all language is the clearer. The pen had gone at breakneck speed in writing, but when it came to love it split in two. 115 The explaining mind sleeps like an ass in mud, for love alone explains love and the lover.”
― Rumi, مثنوی معنوی
