Khalil Gibran
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping, For only the hand of God can contain your hearts.
Khalil Gibran
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
