What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
Khalil GibranHe who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother. For even your own kindred neither understand you nor know your true worth.
Khalil GibranCover 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 GibranEach thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful; and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image; and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
