AND I HAVE FOUND BOTH FREEDOM AND SAFETY IN MY MADNESS, THE FREEDON OF LONELINESS AND THE SAFETY FROM BEING UNDERSTOOD, FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND US ENSLAVE SOMETHING IN US, BUT LET ME NOT BE TO PROUD OF MY SAFETY, EVEN A THIEF IN A JAIL IS SAFE FROM ANOTHER THIEF!::Gibran 1918
When thou ascendest to thy Heaven I descend to my Hell even then thou callest to me across the unbridgeable gulf, "My companion, my comrade," and I call back to thee, "My comrade, my companion" -- for I would not have thee see my Hell. The flame would burn thy eyesight and the smoke would crowd thy nostrils. And I love my Hell too well to have thee visit it. I would be in Hell alone.Khalil Gibran:1918

“We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.”
The power to command has never meant the power to remain mysterious." — Marshal Ferdinand Foch
