Khalil Gibran

"A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle."

"Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people."

"No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge."

"And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."

"Should you care to write (and only the saints know why you should) you must needs have knowledge and art and magic - the knowledge of the music of words, the art of being artless, and the magic of loving your readers."
