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.

Kahlil Gibran
About This Quote

In the song, The Little Grey Home in the Wood, William Blake says: “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.” This is a beautiful message about people sharing their talents and experiences, but also about staying true to our own individual selves. Don’t lose yourself in the people around you. Be yourself and know that you are loved for your uniqueness and not for your differences from someone else.
