With love, even the rocks will open.
—Hafiz
Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.
—Hafiz
One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.
—Hafiz
I am glad that my master lived in a one-story house when I began to traverse the early stages of love. For when he would speak of the wonders and the beauty of creation, I could not control my happiness and would commence a dance that most always resulted in a dive, head first, out of his window. And you only broke your big nose seventeen times.
—Hafiz
Slipping on my shoes, boiling water, toasting bread, buttering the sky: that should be enough contact with God in one day to make anyone crazy.
