I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter – Kahil Gibran

He does, Valerie. I first came across him when I was a student and am interested to read his word again now with the benefit of more life experience.
