Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
From Rainer Maria Rilke
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for the Creator, there is no poverty.
There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course.
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
