"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary." ― Khalil Gibran Topic(s): Beauty Tags: poetry More From Khalil Gibran "We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them." "Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother." "Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof." More In Beauty "Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually, when people say you are beautiful, it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside."― Emmanuelle Beart "She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth."― Christina Rossetti "Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon."― Andre Gide
