More quotes by Attar of Nishapur
Since I have neither sign nor name
I shall speak only of things unnamed and without sign.
All things are but masks at God's beck and call,
They are symbols that instruct us that God is all.

You may also like
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.
