Only yesterday I was no different than them, yet I was saved. I am explaining to you the way of life of a people who say every sort of wicked thing about me because I sacrificed their friendship to gain my own soul. I left the dark paths of their duplicity and turned my eyes toward the light where there is salvation, truth, and justice. They have exiled me now from their society, yet I am content.

The brooks flow to their lover, the sea, and the flowers smile at the object of their passion, the light. The mist rolls down to its beloved, the valley. And I? In me is what brooks do not know, what flowers do not hear, what the mist does not apprehend. You see me alone in my love, solitary in my yearning. Khalil Gibran

THE ROBINO Robin, sing! for the secret of eternity is in song. I wish I were as you, free from prisons and chains.

I wish I were as you in beauty, a thought floating above the... Khalil Gibran

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. Khalil Gibran
My soul counselled me and instructed me to see that the light which I carry is not my light, That my song was not created within me; For though I travel with the light, I am not the light. Khalil Gibran
But I look up high to see only the light, And never look down to see my shadow. This is wisdom which man must learn.- Song Of The Flower XXIII Khalil Gibran
Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by light. Bu since you must kill to eat, and rob the newly born of its mother's milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship. Khalil Gibran
He who has not been bitten by the serpents of light and snapped at by the wolves of darkness will always be deceived by the days and the nights. Khalil Gibran

You have walked among us a spirit, and your shadow has been a light upon our faces. Khalil Gibran
