If you would behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one.

Khalil Gibran
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
Khalil Gibran
Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.
Khalil Gibran
I have never agreed with my other self wholly. The truth of the matter seems to lie between us.
Khalil Gibran
Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.

Khalil Gibran
Darkness is dawn not yet born.

Khalil Gibran
Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?
Khalil Gibran
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain... When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you will find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
Khalil Gibran
joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Khalil Gibran
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
If any of you would bring judgment the unfaithful wife, let him also weight the heart of her husband in scales, and measure his soul with measurements.
Khalil Gibran
