Lovers have heartaches that can’t be cured by drugs or sleep, or games, but only by seeing their beloved.

Wisdom tells us we are not worthy; love tells us we are. My life flows between the two.

Love risks everything and asks for nothing.

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.

You have within you more love than you could ever understand.

When you seek love with all your heart you shall find its echo in the universe.

If you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.

There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love. Only lovers can escape out of these two worlds.

This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.

I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you all else melted away.

I have no companion but Love, no beginning, no end, no dawn. The soul calls from within me: ‘You, ignorant of the way of Love, set me free.’

On the path of love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the master painter.

Whatever happens, just keep smiling and lose yourself in love.

This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings so love, love, love.

Why ever talk of miracles when you are destined to become infinite love.

When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.

I am yours. Don’t give myself back to me.

If you love someone, you are always joined with them – in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.

This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love, you are.

There is a path from me to you that I am constantly looking for.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

Now I am sober and there’s only the hangover and the memory of love.

Come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.

If destiny comes to help you, love will come to meet you. A life without love isn’t a life.

With life as short as a half-taken breath, don’t plant anything but love.

Love is the water of life, jump into this water.

Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Don’t dismiss the heart, even if it’s filled with sorrow. God’s treasures are buried in broken hearts.

Don’t be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don’t forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

Sorrow… It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

Join the community of saints and know the delight of your own soul. Enter the ruins of your heart and learn the meaning of humility.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises.

But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.

Everyone is overridden by thoughts; that’s why they have so much heartache and sorrow.

One of the marvels of the world: The sight of a soul sitting in prison with the key in its hand.

Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.

Don’t get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.

Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming.
