“وإذا الحب أومأ إليكم فاتبعوه حتى وإن كانت مسالكه وعرة وكثيرة المزالق .
وإذا الحب لفكم بجناحيه فاطئنوا إليه، حتى وإن جرحتكم النصال المخبوءة تحت قوادمه.
وإذا الحب خاطبكم فصدقوه، حتى وإن عبث صوته بأحلامكم كما تعبث ريح الشمال بأزهار الحديقة .
و مثلما يتسلق الحب أعاليكم فيدغدغ أغصانكم اللدنة المرتعشة في الشمس ، هكذا ينحدر إلى أعماقكم فيهز جذوركم في الأرض هزاً عنيفاً .”
― جبران خليل جبران

“Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have the integrity to stand alone.

A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And when a mature person gives love, he or she gives without any strings attached to it. When two mature persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone. They are together so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. Only freedom and love.”
