“I am the human heart, which is imprisoned in the darkness of the multitude’s edicts and fettered by illusion until I am arrived at death’s point.  -Kahlil Gibran

What are these years if not an instant in eternity.  -Kahlil Gibran

Write on my gravestone: Here lie the remains of him who wrote his name on heaven’s face in letters of fire.” ----Kahlil Gibran

I saw, yea, I saw, yet would that I had been sightless.  -Kahlil Gibran

Have mercy, my soul,

For you have burdened me

With a love I cannot carry.

You and love are as one in strength,

And I and matter - weakness divided.

Shall the struggle between strong and weak be eternal?

- Kahlil Gibran

I have a little heart;

I would free it from the darkness of my breast

To bear it in my palm,

Seeking its depths and asking its secrets.

- Kahlil Gibran

Where are you, beloved, where . . .?

Ah, How mighty is love,

How does it diminish me!

-Kahlil Gibran
