The Prophet
On marriage: "Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup."
On children: ''Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.''
On beauty: ''Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.''
