Rumi Tears Quotations

Within tears, find hidden laughter Seek treasures amid ruins, sincere one.

You must lance an ulcer to heal it. You must tear down parts of an old building to restore it, and so it is with a sensual life that has no spirit in it.

Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious

The images we create could turn into wild beasts and tear us to pieces.

Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown.

Roar, lion of the heart, and tear me open!
