"Surely all art is the result of one’s having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further."
-RAINER MARIA RILKE
"To truly sing, that is a different breath."
-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."
-RAINER MARIA RILKE
"For this is guilt, if it is anything:
To fail to increase the freedom of a love
By all the freedom we can raise within ourselves.
When we love, we have, at most, this:
To let each other go; for holding on
Comes easily, we don’t have to learn it.”

-RAINER MARIA RILKE,
