I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?

More quotes by Khalil Gibran
To know the pain of too much tenderness
Khalil Gibran
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Khalil Gibran
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. Doubt is a foundling unhappy and astray, and though his own mother who gave him birth should find him and enfold him, he would withdraw in caution and in fear.
Khalil Gibran
He who denies his heritage, has no heritage
Khalil Gibran
If we were to all sit in a circle and confess our sins, we would laugh at each other for lack of originality.
Khalil Gibran
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing. Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness, And knows that 'yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Khalil Gibran
If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.
Khalil Gibran
Your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
Khalil Gibran
Should you really open your eyes and see, you would behold your image in all images. And should you open your ears and listen, you would hear your own voice in all voices.
Khalil Gibran
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.
Khalil Gibran
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.
Khalil Gibran
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil Gibran
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Khalil Gibran
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names. It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
Khalil Gibran
The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.
Khalil Gibran
Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Khalil Gibran
A look which reveals inward stress adds more beauty to the face, no matter how much tragedy and pain it bespeaks but the face which, in silence, does not announce hidden mysteries is not beautiful, regardless of the symmetry of its features.
Khalil Gibran
He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Khalil Gibran
