Kahlil GibranBeauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
About This Quote
Beauty, life and eternity are three concepts that few people will fully understand. They all share one thing in common: beauty. Beauty is different from life and eternity, but each of them is beautiful in their own way. Life is the most beautiful of the three because it is something everyone experiences.
However, there is beauty in life as well. The fact that you are reading this right now is a testament to life’s beauty. However, a true appreciation of life must come from within the person experiencing it.
You must see life as a part of you that you cannot live without, just as you cannot live without yourself.
