Khalil Gibran Quotes About Art

Quotes about: Art

• Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes.

  Khalil Gibran

  Wisdom, Art, Vision

• Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking. Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpetings, and farewells him with hootings, only to welcome another ruler with trumpetings again. Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strong men are yet in the cradle. Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.

  Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

• Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth.
  It is thy desire in us that desireth.
  It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days which are thine also.

  Thou art our need; and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.
