  Do not love half lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half the way will get you no where Half an idea will bear you no results Half a life is a life you didn't live, A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had A friendship you did not know The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a being You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life.  ~ Khalil Gibran     

It is said that before entering the sea a river trembles with fear. She looks back at the path she has traveled, from the peaks of the mountains, the long winding road, crossing forests, and villages. And in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter there seems nothing more than to disappear forever. But there is no other way. The river can not go back. Nobody can go back. To go back is impossible in existence. The river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean, because only then will fear disappear, because that’s where the river will know it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.

~ The voice of life in me cannot reach the ear of life in you; but let us talk that we may not feel lonely. ~The significance of man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain. ~A traveller am I and a navigator, and every day I discover a new region within my soul. ~I long for eternity because there I shall meet my unwritten poems and my unpainted pictures. ~Art is a step from nature toward the Infinite. ~What might I say of a man who is torn between two women:  one weaving the hours of his waking out of his dreams; the other forming his dreams from the hours of his wakefulness? Reference~The Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran & Gibran Love Letters

Last night I invented a new pleasure, and as I was giving it the first trial an angel and a devil came rushing toward my house.  They met me at my door and fought with each other over my newly created pleasure; the one crying, "It is a sin!"- the other, "It is a virtue!" Reference~ Kahlil Gibran

~I have no enemies, O God, but if I am to have an enemy let his strength be  equal to mine that truth alone may be the victor. ~You will be quite friendly with your enemy when you both die. ~If all they say of good and evil were true, then my life is but one long crime. ~Even the masks of life are masks of deeper mystery. ~Only great sorrow or great joy can reveal your truth.  If you would be revealed you must either dance naked in the sun, or carry your cross. ~If you do not understand your friend under all conditions you will never understand him. ~Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other. ~Sow a seed and the earth will yield a flower.  Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved. ~It takes two of us to discover truth.  One to utter it and one to understand it.
