Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran

The longing for paradise is paradise itself.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Khalil Gibran
Image
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A traveller I am, and a navigator, and everyday I discover a new region within my soul.
Khalil Gibran
Image
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.” “Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving
Khalil Gibran
Image
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.
Khalil Gibran
