Kahlil Gibran
“We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.”
― Kalil Gibran

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?

Look at your eyes. They are small,
but they see enormous things.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

“Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional.
Let this be a sign that you've got a big heart and aren't afraid to let others see it.

― Brigitte Nicole

Tara Brach
“The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.”
