Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Khalil GibranMy house says to me, "do not leave me, for here dwells your past." And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future." And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death change all things."
Khalil Gibran
