Quote by Khalil Gibran

Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.

Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid dese

Summary

This quote suggests that rebellion or resistance, without a foundation in truth or authentic principles, is futile and meaningless. It compares such rebellious acts to the arrival of spring in a bleak, barren desert, emphasizing how they bring no genuine change or improvement. Just as the desert lacks the necessary elements for growth and life, a rebellion lacking truth lacks the fundamental values needed to bring about meaningful transformation or progress. The quote implies that genuine rebellion requires a solid understanding of truth and a clear purpose to truly bring about positive change.

In the end I believe the essential spirit that animates those places animates me. If that spirit is God, then I found God...If that spirit is life, then I found life...If that spirit is awe, then I found awe. Part of me suspects it's all three...all I had to do to discover that spirit and the resulting feeling of humility and appreciation was not to look or listen or taste or feel. All I had to do was remember, for what I was looking for I somehow already knew.

...for until that God who rules all the region of the sky...has freed you from the fetters of your body, you cannot gain admission here.
