"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge."
"You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."
"Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls."
"For what is prayer but the expansion of your self into the living ether?"
"And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space, it is also for your delight to pour forth the dawning of your heart."
"And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?"

I found this book on my parents' shelves as a child and Kahlil Gibran's words inspired my life of spiritual seeking.
This is a book that needs to be read again and again as a reminder. I'm pretty sure the next time I read this, the meaning will be different from when I read it the first time.
