I had never really been moved by "romantic" movies or songs or poems. However, this book changed all that! Very unlike the other normal love stories, Broken Wings embraces the idea of unconditional love. It is redolent with images. Kahlil Gibran is truly a genius.
I would recommend this book to everyone. You can download it here. Small book, but trust me each line would hold your attention and make you think. I have seen quite a few people pride themselves saying "I do not like romantic mushy love stories. They are boring ...." Mostly Men... And some who consider love as a sign of weakness, and something unscientific. I was one of them!
Though I still do not seek out such stories/works, I enjoy them when I stumble upon them. This book, if read with an open mind, will cause even the coldest and shrewdest person to view love as a mystery. Try it. You will be defeated!!!

I am really blessed after reading the broken wing. I found it very touchy and Interesting. I got the big lesson that the very fact of love is laid down on spiritualism. When I first read the book, my ecstasy bubbled while I went through few pages and was very reluctant to pause. I admired his explanation and sunk me in the ocean of joy. And I thought that this book must be a supplementary to bible.
The quote that I loved most is “Limited love asks for possession of the beloved, but the unlimited asks only for itself”
At last, I recommend this book to all people at all age groups.

>> Limited love asks for possession of the beloved, but the unlimited asks only for itself
That is my favourite too :)
