"He who seeks ecstasy in love should..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will; the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.”

“Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.”

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”

“The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.”

“If you come back; I'll marry you. If you break your promise, you'll break my heart”

“I broke my heart in twoSo hard I struck.What matter? for I knowThat out of rock,Out of a desolate source,Love leaps upon its course.”

“To see others suffer does one good, to make others suffer even more: this is a hard saying but an ancient, mighty, human, all-too-human principle [....] Without cruelty there is no festival.”

“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.”

“I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.”
