“For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.”

About this quote
Gibran's prophet describes love as a gardener rather than a companion, and pruning as the price of growth. Read after a breakup the image does honest work: what hurt was part of what was growing, without pretending the pruning was gentle.
