“Pleasure is a freedom-song, But it is not freedom.”

“Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.”

“Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.”

“Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.”

Lovely and poetic. The Prophet is a book of 26 prose poetry fables written in English by the Lebanese-American poet and writer Kahlil Gibran. It was originally published in 1923 by Alfred A. Knopf. It is Gibran's best known work.
