As Rumi has been mentioned for a few times here, I would like to share my favourites quotes from Rumi then:VictoriaClapton wrote: I enjoy a wide variety of books. In fact, if a book is recommended that I haven't already read, I will almost always give it a try. I enjoy the Sufi poet Rumi, and right now I am reading a book called the The Star Borne. I don't always agree with what I read, but I love to piece together how all of the world's cultures relate through their own histories, stories, and beliefs.
You are the second person this week who has mentioned Dostoevsky to me. I need to do a little reading and learn more about him. When possible I prefer to read any book in the original language it was written. This doesn't always work out, but so much seems to be lost once books begin to be translated. Any suggestions on what you think I should put on my reading list?
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.
Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.
The cure for pain is in the pain.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.
