“When you love someone you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

“How about the one who
searches so urgently
he does not see anything else”
― Nils-Aslak Valkeapää, Trekways of the Wind

“Listen with ears of tolerance! See through the eyes of compassion! Speak with the language of love”
― Jalaludin Rumi

“If in the darkness of ignorance, you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has chosen for his leader.”
― Rumi, مثنوی معنوی
