| 88cb9f0 | experience tells us that we can only love because we are born out of love, that we can only give because our life is a gift, and that we can only make others free because we are set free by Him whose heart is greater than ours.

You may house their bodies but not their souls, | poetry-quotes | Kahlil Gibran | |
| 1f58dda | I have seen a face with a thousand countenances, and a face that was but a single countenance as if held in a mould. I have seen a face whose sheen I could look through to the ugliness beneath, and a face whose sheen I had to lift to see how beautiful it was. I have seen an old face much lined with nothing, and a smooth face in which all things were graven. I know faces, because I look through the fabric my own eye weaves, and behold the.. | illusion perception perspectives prejudice reality | Kahlil Gibran | |
