Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
Khalil Gibran
