Image
True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Anonymous Love possesses not nor would it be possessed For love is sufficient unto love.
Khalil Gibran
Image
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Khalil Gibran
Image
A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings. Alone must it seek the ether. And alone and without his nest shall the eagle fly across the sun.
Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran

The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. I am one of those who remembers those places regardless of distance or time.
Khalil Gibran
Image
To barter and lose is better than not to go forth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Yea, death and prison we mete out To small offenders of the laws, While honor, wealth, and full respect On greater pirates we bestow. To steal a flower we call mean. To rob a field is chivalry Who kills the body he must die, Who kills the spirit he goes free.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your house is your larger body.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Inspiration is in seeing a part of the whole with the part of the whole in you.
Khalil Gibran
Image
There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.
Khalil Gibran
Image
What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Khalil Gibran
