Rainer Maria RilkeI want to unfold. Let no place in me hold itself closed, for where I am closed, I am false.
Rainer Maria RilkeYou darkness, that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world.
Rainer Maria RilkeI think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way.
Rainer Maria RilkeAvoid providing material for the drama that is always stretched tight between parents and children; it uses up much of the childrenโs strength and wastes the love of the elders, which acts and warms even if it doesnโt comprehend. Donโt ask for advice from them and donโt expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is strength and blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.
