My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

Some of you say "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay sorrow is the greater". But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep on your bed.

Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are... bland, tasteless. They'll never understand what it's like to read a poem and feel almost like they're flying, or to see a bleeding fish and feel grief that shatters their heart...

My soul and yours are the same,
You appear in me, I in you,
We hide in each other.

"I choose to love you in silence...
For in silence I find no rejection,
I choose to love you in loneliness...
For in loneliness, no one owns you but me,
I choose to adore you from a distance...
For distance will shield me from pain,
I choose to kiss you in the wind...
For the wind is gentler than my lips,
I choose to hold you in my dreams...
For in my dreams, you have no end."
Rumi
