I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
Khalil GibranRead
Love is the veil between lover and lover.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Love creates a connection that transcends physical presence and understanding.
In this quote, Khalil Gibran suggests that love acts as a mystic barrier, allowing lovers to connect deeply while also obscuring their individual realities. The 'veil' symbolizes how love enhances the bond between people, creating an intimate space where they can share their emotions and experiences, yet simultaneously, it signifies a distance that can prevent full disclosure of one's true self.

And Father said, "Christopher, do you understand that I love you?" And I said "Yes," because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means that he loves me.
