If it's a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
The truly good is he who is one with all those who are deemed bad.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran
Image
A word I want to see written on my grave: I am alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
Khalil Gibran
Image
How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran
Image
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Art is a step in the known toward the unknown
