I admired Him as a man rather than as a leader. He preached something beyond my liking, perhaps beyond my reason. And I would have no man preach to me. I was taken by His voice and His gestures, not by the substance of His speech. He charmed me but never convinced me; for He was too vague, too distant and obscure to reach my mind. I have known other men like Him. They are never constant nor are they consistent. It is with eloquence not with principles that they hold your ear and your passing thought, but never the core of your heart.

Additional quotes by Kahlil Gibran

أنت حر أمام شمس النهار .. وأنت حر أمام قمر الليل وكواكبه ,, وأنت حر حيث لا شمس ولا قمر ولا كواكب .. بل أنت حر عندما تغمض عينيك عن الكيان بكليته. ولكن أنت عبد لمن تحب لأنك تحبه , وأنت عبد لمن يحبك لأنه يحبك
