" "My thought is a tender leaf that sways in every direction and finds pleasure in its swaying. Your thought is an ancient dogma that cannot change you nor can you change it. My thought is new, and it tests me and I test it morn and eve. You have your thought and I have mine.'''

Additional quotes by Kahlil Gibran
Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.
احتقرتُ نفسي سبعَ مرَّات:
الأولى، عندما رأيتُها تتظاهرُ الوضاعة وهي تنشدُ الرِّفعة.
والثانية عندما رأيتها تترنَّح متجاوزة العَرْجى.
والثالثة عندما خُيِّرتْ بين السَّهل والشَّاق ففضَّلت السَّهل.
والرابعة عندما اقترفَتْ ذنباً وراحتْ تبرِّره باقتراف الآخرين ذنوباً مماثلة.
والخامسة عندما عجِزَتْ عن فعل شيء لضعفها وعزَتْ صبرَها إلى القوَّة.
والسادسة عندما احتقرتْ بشاعة وجهٍ تبيَّن أنه أحدُ براقعها.
والسابعة عندما غنَّتْ مديحاً واعتبرتْ غناءَها فضيلة.
