There cannot be self-restraint in the absence of desire: when there is no adversary, what avails thy courage? Hark, do not castrate thyself, do not become a monk: chastity depends on the existence of lust.
RumiDo not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
RumiWhat comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.
Rumi
