I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each shall stand guard over the solitude of the other. For, if it lies in the nature of indifference and of the crowd to recognize no solitude, then love and friendship are there for the purpose of continually providing the opportunity for solitude. And only those are the true sharings which rhythmically interrupt periods of deep isolation.
Rainer Maria RilkeI know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.
Rainer Maria RilkeLove consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
