Here are some of my favorite quotes by Khalil Gibran, ordered as such quite appropriately. Enjoy:) some bliss!
"I purified my lips with sacred fire that I might speak of love, but when I opened my mouth to speak, I found myself mute."
"I sang the melodies of a love I did not yet know, but when I came to know it, the words became a muffled whisper in my mouth, the songs in my breast a profound silence."
"Will you not tell me what is this fire kindled in my breast? It consumes my faculties and melts my emotions and desires."
"What are these invisible hands, soft yet course, that grip my spirit in my hours of solitude and loneliness? Into my heart they pour wine mixed with bitterness of pleasure and the sweetness of pain."
"What is this wakefulness that encompasses both death and life and molds them into a dream stranger than life and deeper than death?"
"Who among you would not wake from the sleep of life if love were to brush your spirit with its fingertips?"
