Khalil Gibran “The New Frontier and Sand and Foam”, Library of Alexandria

Like sheaves of corn it gathers you unto itself. It threshes you to make you naked. It sifts you to free you from your husks. It grinds you to whiteness. It kneads you until you are pliant. And then it assigns you to its sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's Heart.

Heart, Fire, Secret

Khalil Gibran, “Love”

Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff; and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.

Beauty, Heart, Past

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful; and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image; and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.

Beautiful, Dream, Sleep

You cannot lay remorse upon the innocent nor lift it from the heart of the guilty. Unbidden shall it call in the night, that men may wake and gaze upon themselves.

Heart, Night, Men

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Wisdom, Inspirational Love, Heart

Khalil Gibran, “Joy And Sorrow Chapter VIII”

He is short-sighted who looks only on the path he treads and the wall on which he leans.

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

Life is but a sleep disturbed by dreaming, prompted by the will; the saddened soul with sadness hides it's secrets, and the gay, with thrill.

Dream, Sadness, Sleep

Your house is your larger body. It grows in the sun and sleeps in the stillness of the night; and it is not dreamless. Does not your house dream, and dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?

Dream, Sleep, Night

Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange.

Lonely, Strong, Brother
