The Madman: His Parables and Poems (Illustrated) (Kahlil Gibran Khalil)

by Kahlil Gibran

“My God, my aim and my fulfillment; I am thy yesterday and thou are my tomorrow. I am thy root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun.”

“Why dispute what we shall be, when we know not even what we are.”

But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.
