I love it, mostly Rumi. It's like motivational poetry, for the nerds from 800 years ago.

  “If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?” - Rumi 
  
  
  “Sit, be still, and listen,
  because you're drunk
  and we're at
  the edge of the roof.” 
  ― Rumi

And one of the best ones from Rumi

  What you seek is seeking you
  - Rumi

[616c]

If you ever take a Sufi Islam class, it is introductions to quotes of Rumi like these that will ruin you forever.

God I love his work. There is a whole school of Sufi sects known as drunk Sufis, drunk on their love of God, so to speak, and Rumi is a fantastic artistic characterization of their mindset.
