Kahlil Gibran on Love- "Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

Khalil Gibran’s quotes on love emphasise spiritual connection, freedom, and personal growth, viewing love as a transformative force that "possesses not". His most famous insights, often from The Prophet, advise loving without binding the other, encouraging space and individuality within relationships.
