Rainer Maria Rilke:
(Prague, 4 December 1875 – Montreux, 29 December 1926).
One of the most important lyric poets in the German language.
He also wrote stories, a novel, essays on art and culture, as well as numerous translations, including from French into German, of literary works and lyricism.
His extensive correspondence forms an important part of his literary legacy.
If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the smaal things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasureable.
There are many people, but many more faces, because everyone has several.
We have no reason to harbor any mistrust against our world. For it is not against us. If it has terrors, they are our terrors.
I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!
