When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive.
Khalil Gibran

Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed With seeds ofjasmine, lilies, and myrtle and when they Grow above me and thrive on my body's element they will Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Hell is not in torture Hell is in an empty heart.
Khalil Gibran

I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image.
Khalil Gibran

Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?
Khalil Gibran
