Khalil Gibran - The Prophet

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

The Prophet is quite long; the only items that have been posted here are excerpts of varying lengths.
