Enjoy Jalal Edin quote, biopic on ifilm

While catching up with latest episode for 'Jalal Edin' series on ifilm, it makes good sense to know more about works done by the biopic's main character through some of his quotes.

‘Jalal Edin’ depicts parts of the life of ancient Persian poet Jalaleddin Mohammad Balkhi, globally known as Mowlavi (AKA Rumi). A 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, and theologian, his influence transcends national borders and ethnic divisions.

His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats. Mowlavi has been described as the "most popular poet" and the "best selling poet" in the US.

Here are some quotes from the celebrated Persian poet:

• We are born of love; Love is our mother.
• The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
• Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.
• Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.
• Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.
