More quotes by Coleman Barks
There is no reality but God,
says the completely surrendered sheik, who is an ocean for all beings.
What is the body? That shadow of a shadow
of your love, that somehow contains
the entire universe.
Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
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.
