"To love life through our labor is..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“Some think I wink at them when I shut my eyes to avoid their sight.”

“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.”

“If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.”

“Inspiration exists, but you have to find it working.”

“I am like a blind pig when I work.”

“You must elect your work; you shall take what your brains can, and drop all the rest. Only so can that amount of vital force accumulate which can make the step from knowing to doing. No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken. It is a step out of a chalk circle of imbecility into fruitfulness.”

“Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.”

“I told you once that [our marriage] was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't changed.”

“All love is true, but not all truth ... is love?”
