Taken from this site: Kahlil Gibran - Love Letters. I'll only copy five that I love best.
Among intelligent people the surest basis for marriage is friendship - the sharing of real interests- the ability to fight out ideas together and understand each other's thoughts and dreams.
(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 26th May 1923)
Each and every one of us, dear Mary, must have a resting place somewhere. The resting place of my soul is a beautiful grove where my knowledge of you lives.
(Extract from one of Gibran's letters dated 8th November 1908)
This one is MY FAVE (Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic! LOL!):
That deepest thing, that recognition, that knowledge, that sense of kinship began the first time I saw you, and it is the same now - only a thousand times deeper and tenderer. I shall love you to eternity. I loved you long before we met in this flesh. I knew that when I first saw you. It was destiny. We are together like this and nothing can shake us apart.
(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 12th March 1922)
No human relation gives one possession in another - every two souls are absolutely different. In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.
(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 8th June 1924)
But now I can put myself in your hands. You can put yourself in another person's hands when he knows what you are doing and has respect for it and loves it. He gives you your freedom.

My favourite quote from Gabriel Garcia Marquez on love:
ReplyDelete"I love you not for whom you are, but who I am when I'm by your side".
That's why they say that lovers are like one soul in two bodies.
ReplyDeleteGREAT quote, Epimenides!!! It's SO TRUE indeed. :-)))
ReplyDeleteManimala: I've never heard it said that way, but I guess that's one reason there's a term "soulmate", eh?
Woo lovely.
