"A word I want to see written..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran

“For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.”

“joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”

“The silence of the envious is too noisy.”

“Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.”

“Oblivion is the flower that grows best on graves.”

“I expect I shall have to die beyond my means.”

“You cannot force the Now. — But can you neither condemn nor justify and yet be extraordinarily alive as you walk on? You can never invite the wind, but you must leave the window open.”

“But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.”

“Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.”
