Ten quotations from Kahlil Gibran, by way of queentrixie:

"In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song."

"That deed which in our guilt we today call weakness, will appear tomorrow as an essential link in the complete chain of Man."

"Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death."

"I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires."

"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations."

"Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain."

"One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night."

I said to Life, I would hear Death speak. And Life raised her voice a little higher and said, You hear him now."

"And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course."

". . . the silence that guards the tomb does not reveal God's secret in the obscurity of the coffin, and the rustling of the branches whose roots suck the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of the grave, by the agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which love, beauty, and death have performed."
