“There is a community of the spirit.Join it, and feel the delightof walking in the noisy streetand being the noise.Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace.Close both eyes to see with the other eye”

“Beyond Islam and unbelief there is a desert plain. For us, there is a passion in the midst of that expanse. The knower who reaches there will prostrate, there is neither Islam nor unbelief, nor any 'where' in that place.”

“The way you make love is the way God will be with you.”

“Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.”

“Love is a river. Drink from it.”

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
