Kahlil Gibran

" LIFE IS AN island
in an ocean of loneliness,
an island
whose rocks are hopes,
whose trees are dreams,
whose flowers are solitude,
and whose brooks are thirst..."

From : "The Voice
of the Master"

Y. Yevtushenko

" An autobiography
is meaningless
if it is only
an account of
the events
in a man's
outward life
and not also
an account of
his interior life-
of his thoughts
and feelings. "

From: "A precocious
autobiography"
