Pretty, pretty things

Quote of the Day

It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel oneself was occasionally fruitfull and always, she had to admit, interesting.

Soeren Kierkegaard

Again and Again

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky. 


by R.M. Rilke

Quotes I Fancy 6

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.
