We are unutterably alone essentially, especially in the things most intimate and most important.
Rainer Maria RilkeYour solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.
Rainer Maria RilkeIt is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
Rainer Maria RilkeThings aren't all so tangible and sayable as people would usually have us believe; most experiences are unsayable, they happen in a space that no word has ever entered, and more unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life
Rainer Maria Rilke
