Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran

My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
Khalil Gibran
