Let there be spaces in your togetherness...just as strings of a lute dance alone though they quiver with the same music.
Khalil GibranDeath most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
Khalil GibranNow I realize that the trees blossom in Spring and bear fruit in Summer without seeking praise; and they drop their leaves in Autumn and become naked in Winter without fearing blame.
Khalil GibranWhen life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Khalil GibranYou are persecuted and despised. It were better that a person should be the oppressed than that he should be the oppressor; and fitter that he should be a victim to the frailty of human instincts than that he should be powerful and crush the flowers of life and disfigure the beauties of feeling with his desire.
