"Your saying 'I do not understand you'..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.But your ears thirst for the sound of the heart's knowledge.You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.You would touch with your fingers the naked body of the dreams.”

“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.”

“I use hate as a weapon to defend myself; had I been strong, I would never have needed that kind of weapon.”

“Who would have thought around 1900 that in fifty years time we would know so much more and understand so much less.”

“We can only know where we're going if we know where we've been.”

“Whatever we have words for, that we have already got beyond.”

“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art.' I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.”

“There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood bu those who hear it.”

“Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.”
