“the future stands still dear Mr Kappus, but we move in infinite space.”
― Rilke, Rainer Maria

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
― Toni Morrison

“So you mustn't be frightened, dear Mr. Kappus, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety - like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand and will not let you fall.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
