Image
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And before my Soul took me to task I was hard of hearing I heard only tumult and uproar. But now I am all ears listening to the silence and its choirs singing the hymns of time, intoning the praises of the firmament, revealing the secrets of the invisible.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.

I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Art is a step in the known toward the unknown
Khalil Gibran
Image
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
Khalil Gibran
