Author: Rainer Maria Rilke
«All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you»

«Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.»
«When I saw others straining toward God, I did not understand it, for though I may have had him less than they did, there was no one blocking the way between him and me, and I could reach his heart easily. It is up to him, after all, to have us, our part consists of almost solely in letting him grasp us.»
«Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition. Alas, the artist who waits in ambush there, watching, detaining them, will find them transformed like the beautiful gold in the fairy tale which cannot remain gold because some small detail was not taken care of.»
