Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself, but if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires.

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

You, the strong, have I loved, though the marks of your iron hoofs are yet upon my flesh.

Love is all I can possess and no one can deprive me of it. Kahlil Gibran (Visions of the Prophet)

In every winter's heart there is a quivering spring, and behind the veil of each night there is a shining dawn.

The nearest to my heart are a king without a kingdom and a poor man who does not know how to beg.

I have never agreed with my other self wholly. The truth of the matter seems to lie between us.
