The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master. – Kahlil Gibran
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you? – Kahlil Gibran
Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem. – Kahlil Gibran
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is. – Kahlil Gibran
Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words. – Rainer Maria Rilke
