Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
— Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
— Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness, and knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.
— Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
