Khalil Gibran

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
Khalil Gibran
Image

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
Image
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
