Rainer Maria Rilke
“One must never despair upon losing something, whether it is an individual or an experience of joy or happiness; everything returns even more magnificently. What has to decline, declines; what belongs to us, stays with us, for everything works according to laws that are greater than our capacity for understanding and that only seem to contradict us. You have to live within yourself and think of all of life, all of its millions of possibilities, openings, and futures in relation to which there exists nothing that is past or has been lost.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Poet's Guide to Life: The Wisdom of Rilke

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

“God commands all the birds of the heavens to devour the flesh of the princes and commands the wild animals to drink the blood of the mighty ones.”
Thomas Muntzer

Marcel Proust
“Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to kindness and wisdom we make promises only; pain we obey.”
Marcel Proust, Sodom and Gomorrah

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I sometimes have moments of such despair, such despair … Because in those moments I start to think that I will never be capable of beginning to live a real life; because I have already begun to think that I have lost all sense of proportion, all sense of the real and the actual; because, what is more, I have cursed myself; because my nights of fantasy are followed by hideous moments of sobering! And all the time one hears the human crowd swirling and thundering around one in the whirlwind of life, one hears, one sees how people live—that they live in reality, that for them life is not something forbidden, that their lives are not scattered for the winds like dreams or visions but are forever in the process of renewal, forever young, and that no two moments in them are ever the same; while how dreary and monotonous to the point of being vulgar is timorous fantasy, the slave of shadow, of the idea...”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights
