Unit when shall you abide in the filth of life and continue to desert its gardens?
(Yesterday And Today XII)
More Quotes from Khalil Gibran:
The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called love.Khalil Gibran
In the city of the living I found hope and despair; love and hatred, joy and sorrow, wealth and poverty, faith and infidelity.
Khalil Gibran
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
Khalil Gibran
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
Khalil Gibran
All these things have you said of beauty. Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied, And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and your are the mirror.
Khalil Gibran
As they disappeared from my sight, I commenced to make comparison between love and money, and to analyze their position in the heart.
Khalil Gibran
