by 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.
I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
