Quote by Kahlil Gibran

When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

When you love you should not think you can direct the course

Summary

This quote emphasizes that love cannot be controlled or directed by an individual. It suggests that when one truly loves someone, they shouldn't try to manipulate or force the course of that love. Instead, love has the power to guide and lead individuals on its own accord, if both people are deserving of it. The quote highlights the notion that love is a force beyond our control, and genuine love will naturally take its course when it finds its way into our lives.

Humans! They lived in the world where the grass continued to be green and the sun rose every day and flowers regularly turned into fruit, and what impressed them? Weeping statues. And wine made out of water! A mere quantum-mechanistic tunnel effect, that'd happen anyway if you were prepared to wait zillions of years. As if the turning of sunlight into wine, by means of vines and grapes and time and anzymes, wasn't a thousand times more impressive and happened all the time...

When two kids are being completely berserk, and they're naked and throwing food around, sometimes I just let it go because I can see a future where they're going to be dressed, and they're going to be at school. So I kind of let stuff go sometimes.
