Hormuz L'isola arcobaleno

The moment I first heard love I gave up my soul, my heart, and my eyes.

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

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

Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

The way the Beloved can fit in my heart, two thousand lives could fit in this body of mine. One kernel could contain a thousand bushels, and a hundred worlds pass through the eye of the needle.

A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity &#39;til he has tasted adversity.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations... Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.
