Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy, you may find in them a harness and a chain. Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your body and less of your raiment.
Khalil GibranOnly when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil GibranFor thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
Khalil GibranHe who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
