More quotes by Mikha'il Na'ima
Whoever cannot find a temple in his heart, the same can never find his heart in any temple.
Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything, you are attached to nothing.
The more elaborate his labyrinths, the further from the Sun his face.
Ask not of things to shed their veils. Unveil yourselves, and things will be unveiled.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
