The sorrowful spirit finds relaxation in solitude. It abhors people, as a wounded deer deserts the herd and lives in a cave until it is healed or dead.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Khalil Gibran
The truly great man is he who would master no one, and who would be mastered by none.
Khalil Gibran
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
Khalil Gibran
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.
Khalil Gibran
Wit is often a mask. If you tear it you will find either genius irritated or cleverness juggling.
Khalil Gibran
Follow your heart. Your heart is the right guide in everything big. Mine is so limited. What you want to do is determined by that divine element that is in each of us.
Khalil Gibran
you can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing?
Khalil Gibran
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
Khalil Gibran
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
Khalil Gibran
Let passion fill your sails, but let reason be your rudder.
Khalil Gibran
There are those who give little of the much which they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
Khalil Gibran
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil Gibran
March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
Khalil Gibran
Thinking is always the stumbling stone to poetry.
Khalil Gibran
Saying this, he turned his head toward the window as if he were trying to solve the problems of human existence by concentrating on the beauty of the universe.
Khalil Gibran
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding... And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy
Khalil Gibran
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.
Khalil Gibran
In truth you owe naught to any man. You owe to all men.
Khalil Gibran
