It was not in me It came and wentI wanted to hold it It was... - Rainer Maria Rilke

"She who reconciles the ill-matched threadsOf her life, and weaves them gratefullyInto a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hallAnd clears it for a different celebration."

"Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write."

"The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things."

"I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future."

"Let everything happen to youBeauty and terrorJust keep goingNo feeling is final"
