For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion,... - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

"When you part from your friend, you grieve not;For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, asthe mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain."

"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.But you are eternity and you are the mirror."

"He who is more mindful of one, loses the love and the faith of both."

"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind."

"He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked.The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin."
