Kahlil Gibran | Quotes / Aforismi
Pablo Picasso | Le couple, 1904
"I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers!".
"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart".
“We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side".
"Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need".

Frida Kahlo: "Dipingo i fiori così non moriranno"
"I fiori della primavera sono i sogni dell'inverno raccontati, la mattina, al tavolo degli angeli".
Khalil Gibran
Pierre Auguste Renoir 1841-1919
"Chi cerca di possedere un fiore, vede la sua bellezza appassire, ma chi lo ammira in un campo, lo porterà sempre con sé.
Perché il fiore si fonderà con il pomeriggio, con il tramonto, con l'odore di terra bagnata e con le nuvole all'orizzonte".
Paulo Coelho

Khalil Gibran | On pleasure / Il piacere
Pleasure is a freedom-song, But it is not freedom.
It is the blossoming of your desires,
But it is not their fruit.
It is a depth calling unto a height, But it is not the deep nor the high. It is the caged taking wing,
But it is not space encompassed.
Ay, in very truth, pleasure is a freedom song.
And I fain would have you sing it with fullness of heart; yet I would not have you lose your hearts in the singing.
Some of your youth seek pleasure as if it were all, and they are judged and rebuked.
I would not judge nor rebuke them. I would have them seek.
For they shall find pleasure, but not her alone;
Seven are her sisters, and the least of them is more beautiful than pleasure.
Have you not heard of the man who was digging in the earth for roots and found a treasure?

Khalil Gibran | Il pittore / The painter
Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) - Lebanese-American writer, poet, visual artist - painted more than 700 pictures, watercolors and drawings.
In 1930, Gibran's final will reflected this similar desire: "Everything found in my studio after my death - pictures, books, objects of art, ecc. - goes to Mrs. Mary Haskell Minis, now living at 24 Gaston Street West, Savannah, Ga. But I would like to have Mrs. Minis send all, or any part of these things, to my hometown, should she see fit to do so".

Kahlil Gibran | Love letter to Mary Haskell, 1912
New York, 7th January 1912
"Now I will say goodnight, as any other time.
I kiss you and then I say goodnight
and then I open the door and then I go out to the streets
with a full heart and a hungry soul.
But I always come again
to kiss you and to say goodnight
and to open the door and to go out to the street
with hungry soul and full heart".
New York - domenica pomeriggio, 7 gennaio 1912
"Ora ti do la buonanotte, come ogni altra volta.
Ti bacio e poi ti auguro la buonanotte,
e poi apro la porta e poi esco per le strade
con il cuore pieno e l’anima affamata.
Ma continuo a tornare, ancora e sempre,
per baciarti e augurarti la buonanotte
e aprire la porta e uscire per la strada
con l’anima affamata e il cuore pieno".
