Khalil Gibran Quotes

Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love which can exist between a man and a woman.

Friendship is not to be sought for its wages, but because its revenue consists entirely in the love which it implies.

You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition.

What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?

Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.

Family transcends the flesh. You don't love someone because they look like you, you love their spirit; it's the soul connection.

Chemistry's a funny thing. It can be instantaneous, but it helps when you know someone.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.

The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that's true of everyone, don't you?

I'd never expected my first time to be in a cabin in the woods, but I realized the place didn't matter. The person did. With someone you loved, you could be anywhere, and it would be incredible. Being in the most luxurious bed in the world wouldn't matter if you were with someone you didn't love.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

The thing about love is that we come alive in bodies not our own.

Love is an incredible thing but we don't know love like we should. Unconditional love we don't know it because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them.

I know love at first sight can work. It happened to my parents.

The guy I'd felt such an immediate and deep connection to I'd thought that just maybe there really were such things as soul mates, and had considered, at least for a few brief moments, that he might be mine.

If you tame me, it would be as if the sun came to shine on my life.

When you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her; it is the love flowing from you own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to love. Love is always found flowing in your heart, not in your family, lover, career or art.

Love goes toward love.

What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.

One might have supposed that the true act of love was to lie together and talk.

Love is more than a word. It's a noun and a verb.

Love is the great conqueror of lust.

Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be.
