Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and... - Rainer Maria Rilke
"Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other."
"Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other."
"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."
"The only journey is the one within."
"The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things."
"But because truly being here is so much; because everything here apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which in some strange way keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all. Once for each thing. Just once; no more. And we too, just once. And never again. But to have been this once, completely, even if only once: to have been at one with the earth, seems beyond undoing."
"Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always."
