Rainer Maria Rilke
“Beauty is as close to terror
as we can well endure.
Angels would not condescend
to damn our meagre souls.
That is why they awe
and why they terrify us so.
Every angel is terrible!”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Duino Elegies

Elizabeth Strout
“A friend had said to me once, “Whenever I don’t know what to do, I watch what I am doing.” And what I was doing that year was leaving, even though I had not yet left.”
Elizabeth Strout, Oh William!

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Do you know that one day I'll kill you? I won't do it because I'm no longer in love with you, or because I'm jealous, but—I'll just kill you for no better reason that I sometimes long to devour you.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gambler
