Kahlil Gibran
“Where are you now, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping
From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience?”
Kahlil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran

Aristotle
“A beginning is that which does not itself follow anything by causal necessity, but after which something naturally is or comes to be. An end, on the contrary, is that which itself naturally follows some other thing, either by necessity, or as a rule, but has nothing following it. A middle is that which follows something as some other thing follows it. A well constructed plot, therefore, must neither begin nor end at haphazard, but conform to these principles.”
Aristotle, Poetics

Kahlil Gibran
“A fox looked at his shadow at sunrise and said, “I will have a camel for lunch today.” And all morning he went about looking for camels. But at noon he saw his shadow again-and he said, “A mouse will do.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

“When love is not madness, it is not love...”
Anushka Bhartiya

Aristotle
“No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.

- Aristotle (Attributed by Seneca in Moral Essays, "De Tranquillitate Animi" On Tranquility of Mind, sct. 17, subsct. 10.)”
Aristotle
