Kahlil Gibran

The Prophet — On Self-Knowledge, 1923

“Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.”

Gibran's mystical prose-poetry suggests that self-knowledge is not acquired through effort but through listening. The heart already knows — the challenge is to hear it.
