Rainer Maria Rilke

For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

The only journey is the one within.

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

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.

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.
