I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
for the joys of the multitude.
And I would not have the tears that sadness makes
to flow from my every part turn into laughter.
[...]
I would rather that I died in yearning and longing
than that I live weary and despairing.
I want the hunger for love and beauty
to be in the depths of my spirit,
for I have seen those who are satisfied the most wretched of people.
I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and longing,
and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.

Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)

Война не окончена.
Остановите войну в Украине.
Остановите войны во всем мире.
Никто не заслуживает войны.
