Quote by Rumi

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Summary

This quote is a reminder that the true pursuit of love lies within oneself. It suggests that rather than searching for external sources of love, the focus should be on identifying and dismantling the internal obstacles that prevent one from experiencing love fully. It emphasizes the idea that one's own fears, defenses, and past experiences can obstruct the ability to give and receive love. By looking inward and addressing these barriers, one can open up to a more authentic and deep experience of love.

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: a human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him, a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.
