The Prophet Quote

Category: Life, Books, Asides

Randall Goodgame is reading The Prophet by Kahil Gibran. He recently shared the following passage over at his blog:

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;
And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.
And in much of your talking, thinking is half-murdered.
For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings, but cannot fly.

Profound. I’d love to get my hands on a copy of this book…
