Quote

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history.

If it were not for guests all houses would be graves.

Enthusiasm is a volcano on whose top never grows the grass of hesitation.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil Gibran

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Khalil Gibran

Seven times have I despised my soul: The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many are the places of worship, but few indeed are those who worship in Spirit and in truth.
Khalil Gibran

A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.
Khalil Gibran

For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them.
Khalil Gibran
