“When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.”
― William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets

“When life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.”
― Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

“هــو الكــونُ حـيٌّ, يحـبُّ الحيـاة
ويحــتقر المَيْــتَ, مهمــا كــبُرْ
فـلا الأفْـق يحـضن ميْـتَ الطيـورِ
ولا النحــلُ يلثــم ميْــتَ الزهـرْ ”
― أبو القاسم الشابي, أغاني الحياة
