1 " Free is a man who has no desires. "
― Nizami Ganjavi
2 " Thus many a melody passed to and fro between the two nightingales, drunk with their passion. Those who heard them listened in delight, and so similar were the two voices that they sounded like a single chant. Born of pain and longing, their song had the power to break the unhappiness of the world. "
― Nizami Ganjavi , Layla and Majnun
3 " از آدمیان دیو زادهدیوانگی اش خلاص داده "
4 " Passant par la maison, la maison de Laylâ,Je baise ce mur-ci, cet autre, et celui-là.Est-ce d'aimer les murs que tu perds la raison?Non pas les murs, mon coeur : les gens de la maison. "
5 " لیلی بودم، ولیک اکنونمجنون ترم از هزار مجنون "
6 " جهان عشق است و دیگر زرق سازیهمه بازی ست الا عشق بازیفلک جز عشق محرابی نداردجهان بی خاک عشق آبی نداردغلام عشق شو اندیشه این استهمه صاحبدلان را پیشه این استدلی کز عشق خالی شد فسرده ستگرش صد جان بُوَد بی عشق مرده ستمبین در عقل کان سلطان جان استقدم در عشق نه کان جان ِ جان استز سوز عشق خوش تر در جهان نیستکه بی او گل نخندید، ابر نگریستطبایع جز کشش کاری ندارندحکیمان این کشش را عشق خوانندگر اندیشه کنی از راه بینشبه عشق است ایستاده آفرینشچو من بی عشق خود را جان ندیدمدلی بفروختم، جانی خریدمکمر بستم به عشق این داستان راصلای عشق در دادم جهان را "

7 " دوستی با مردم دانا نکوستدشمن دانا به‌از نادان دوست "
8 " He who searches for his beloved is not afraid of the world. "
9 " What we are and what we possess is but a loan- and that not for long! Do not clutch what has been given to you, for joy and desire to possess are but nails fastening you to the perishable world. "
10 " پرسیدم از اوستاد دانااز حالت عاشق تواناکاو را به مراد خویش ره بودمهلت دادن چه کارگه بود؟کامی که بر آمدش در آن حالناکام چرا گذاشت سی سال؟گفتا که به یک مراد، حالیکشتی تنش از نشاط خالیزان کام نجست از آن پریزادتا خانه ی عشق ماند آباداز کام گرفتنی چنان سستسی سال نشاط خویشتن جست "
11 " Fill this cup to that love that never changes, never! Fill this cup to the love that goes on living forever! To the love that has been purified by earthly woes and at last with everlasting bliss... divinely glows! "
12 " If the fire of the love to you wouldn’t dry themthe floods of tears for you would sweep me awayAnd if the water from my two eyes wouldn’t come to my aidthe fire of the grief over you would burn my heart wailing "
13 " In the hour of adversity be not without hope, for crystal rain falls from black clouds. "
14 " Whatever befalls us has its meaning; though it is often hard to grasp. In the Book of Life every page has two sides. On the upper one, we inscribe our plans, dreams and hopes; the reverse is filled by providence, whose verdicts rarely match our desire. "
15 " Para contemplar la belleza de Layla hay que tener los ojos de Majnún. "
16 " Не желаеш ли да бъдеш унижен, не унижавай никого. "
17 " What is a human life after all? Whether it endures for a brief spell or longer - even if it could last a thousand years; take it as a breath of air merging into eternity. From the beginning, life bears death's signature; they are brothers in the secret play of their eyes. For how long then do you want to deceive yourself? For how long will you refuse to see yourself as you are and as you will be? Each grain of sand takes its own length and breadth as the measure of the world; yet, beside a mountain range it is as nothing. You yourself are the grain of sand; you are your own prisoner. Break your cage, break free from yourself, free from humanity; learn that what you thought was real is not so in reality. Follow Nizami: burn your own treasure, like a candle - then the world, your sovereign, will become your slave. "
18 " Думите, които идват от сърце, винаги достигат до сърце. "
19 " What today we mistake for a padlock, keeping us out, we may tomorrow find to be the key that lets us in. "
20 " Even if we do not like to show our weakness to the world, we should have friends, genuine and true like mirrors, clearly revealing our faults so that we can face and cure them. Let me be your mirror. "
