Rainer Maria Rilke
  • One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.

  • The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

  • No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.

  • Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

  • Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
