Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran
1926·Bsharri, Lebanon

The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.

1926·New York, USA

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky. We fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness.

1923·New York, USA

But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love.

1925

The creator gives no heed to the critic unless he becomes a barren inventor.

Antoine de Saint-ExupéryAntoine de Saint-Exupéry·1943

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Lao TzuLao Tzu·600 BC

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnameable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.

Carl JungCarl Jung·1916

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Without, everything seems discordant; only within does it coalesce into unity. Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.
