Review Quotes: "[Kahlil Gibran] speaks about fundamental things--those which are, or should be, a part of every human life--love, giving, food and drink, work, sorrow and joy, children, clothes and housing, buying and selling, crime and punishment, freedom, reason and passion, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion and death.... Like most wisdom, most of what he has to tell is ancient, the possession of all men who have thought much and hard about fundamental things.... But on it all there is also the imprint of a rich and unusual personality.... Gibran offers no short-cuts to happiness, no easily mastered formulae for successful living. Essentially, he bids you look closely into your own heart and mind." --The New York Times
