Quotes by Khalil Gibran
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
He who listens to Truth is not less than he who utters Truth.
