"Humanity is a river of light running..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“A minute moving among the patterns of beauty and the dreams of love is greater and more precious than an age filled with splendor granted by the weak to the strong.”

“Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.”

“Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.”

“And what fastens attention, in the intercourse of life, like any passage betraying affection between two parties? Perhaps we never saw them before, and never shall meet them again. But we see them exchange a glance, or betray a deep emotion, and we are no longer strangers. We understand them, and take the warmest interest in the development of the romance. All mankind love a lover.”

“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into.”

“There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same.”

“If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?”

“heaven is eternal, earth everlasting. they endure this way because they do not live for themselves. in the same way, the wise person puts himself last, and thereby finds himself first, holds himself outside, and thereby remains at the center, abandons himself, and is thereby fulfilled.”

“My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever; but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.”
