“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”
― Khalil Gibran

“Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.”
― William Penn, Some Fruits Of Solitude

“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
― Kahlil Gibran
