The Prophet
“Love one another, but make not a bond of that love. Let
it rather be like a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
And stand together, and yet not too near together. For even the pillars of the
temple must stand apart; and the oak tree and the cypress will not grow in
each other’s shadow. Remember that love gives nothing but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
And think not that you can direct the course of love. For love, if it finds you
worthy, will direct your course."
