- English:
And think not you can direct the course of love,
For love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
As Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
-Khalil Gibran (The Prophet, on Love)
- Arabic:
و لا يخطر لك البتة أنك تستطيع أن تتسلط على مسالك المحبة
لأن المحبة إن رأت فيك استحقاقاً لنعمتها تتسلط هي على مسالكك
و المحبة لا رغبة لها إلا في أن تكمل نفسها
-خليل جبران
