In 1889 he returned to Lebanon to continue his studies in Arabic before returning to Boston in 1903, around which time he met Mart Haskell, who would become his lifelong benefactor. In 1912, he settled in New York City and devoted himself to writing (both in Arabic and English) and to painting. Gibran died in 1931.

November 13, 2008: The Prophet proved to be one of the most inspiring books I have read so far. Being only 19, I found the book to be interesting and highly important. I believe everyone should read this book and learn it. I hope you'll get a chance to read this great book because it will be well worth it!

October 25, 2008: If everyone lived their lives the way Mr. Gibran outlines in this book, there would be no problems left in the world. Young people should read this as they ponder what type of person they want to become, and everybody else should read it to see what they missed when they were young. Kahlil Gibran explains things in such a beautiful way that it can't help but strike the reader as obvious.
