I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Khalil GibranRead
Love is the veil between lover and lover.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Love creates a connection that transcends physical presence and understanding.
In this quote, Khalil Gibran suggests that love acts as a mystic barrier, allowing lovers to connect deeply while also obscuring their individual realities. The 'veil' symbolizes how love enhances the bond between people, creating an intimate space where they can share their emotions and experiences, yet simultaneously, it signifies a distance that can prevent full disclosure of one's true self.

Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense.
