«In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans»
«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.»
«Oh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.»
Author: Kahlil Gibran (Essayist, Novelist, Poet) | About: Heart | Keywords: perishes, withering, withers
«Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafairing soul, if either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.»
«He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.»
«You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.»
«You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.»
«Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.»
«And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.»
«We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.»
Author: Kahlil Gibran (Essayist, Novelist, Poet) | About: Choice, Poetry, Sorrow | Keywords: joys, sorrows
