| YouTube video of Khalil Gibran |
| Never meet any man like Kahlil Gibran. Read his book, The Prophet – it is immensely beautiful – but avoid Kahlil Gibran himself, because you will be very much disappointed, for the simple reason that you cannot believe that this man has produced one of the classics of the whole of history. His book stands like an Everest, but he himself lies deep down in the dark valley of despair, existential meaninglessness: angry about life, angry with life, angry about everything... --Osho From Bondage to Freedom, ch. 24 |
