Quote by Kahlil Gibran

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for

Summary

This quote suggests that when we fully understand all the complexities and uncertainties of life, we start to yearn for death. This longing arises because death itself becomes a new enigma, a phenomenon that we cannot fully comprehend or anticipate. It highlights the inherent human desire to seek answers and unlock the mysteries, even if it means pondering the unknown aspect of mortality itself.

What is it the I'll want from you? Not love: that would be too much to ask. Not forgiveness, which isn't yours to bestow. Only a listener, perhaps; only someone who will see me. Don't prettify me though, whatever else you do: I have no wish to be a decorated skull. But I leave myself in your hands. What choice do I have? By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be.
