Spiritual awakening is the most essential thing in man's life, and it is the sole purpose of being. Is not civilization, in all its tragic forms, a supreme motive for spiritual awakening?

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.
Khalil Gibran
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Khalil Gibran
Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
Khalil Gibran
He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage.
Khalil Gibran
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Khalil Gibran
The most wonderful thing, Mary, is that you and I are always walking together, hand in hand, in a strangely beautiful world, unknown to other people. We both stretch one hand to receive from Life - and Life is generous indeed.
Khalil Gibran
As the strings of a lute are apart though they quiver the same music.
Khalil Gibran
You often say, I would give, but only to the deserving. The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
Khalil Gibran
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Khalil Gibran
There is a desire deep within the soul which drives man from the seen to the unseen, to philosophy and to the divine.
Khalil Gibran
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Khalil Gibran
Rob a neighbour with a smile.
Khalil Gibran
A God who is good knows no segregation amongst words or names. And were a God to deny his blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, there would be no human who should offer worship.
Khalil Gibran
Mother: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind.
Khalil Gibran
They consider me to have sharp and penetrating vision because I see them through the mesh of a sieve.
Khalil Gibran
Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
Khalil Gibran
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a soul. We are infinitely more than we think.
Khalil Gibran
