Kahlil Gibran
Broken Wings
Love is the only freedom in the
world because it so elevates the
spirit that the laws of humanity and
the phenomena of nature do not
alter its course.
Tears and Laughter
"You may do onto me whatever you
wish, but you shall not be able to touch
my truth"
"Love is justice with its full intensity and
dignity"
"Tomorrow never leaves a secret in
the book of eternity"
Thoughts and Meditations, pg 28-32
My soul preached to me
"My soul preached to me and taught
me to love that which the people abhor
and befriend whom they revile.
My soul showed me love prides itself
not only in the one who loves, but also
in the beloved.
Ere my soul preached to me, Love was
in my heart as a tiny thread fastened
between two pegs.
But now Love has become a halo
whose beginning is its end, and whose
end is its beginning. It surrounds every
being and extends slowly to embrace
all that shall be."

"My soul preached to me and taught
me to listen to the voices which the
tongue and the larynx and the lips do
not utter.
Ere my soul preached to me, I heard
not but clamor and wailing. But now I
eagerly attend Silence and hear its
choirs singing the hymns of the ages
and the songs of the firmament
announcing the secrets of the Unseen."
