― Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy

“Continue to believe that with your feeling and with
your work you take part in what is greatest. The more strongly you cultivate this belief inside of you, the more it will give rise to reality and world.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, The Dark Interval: Letters on Loss, Grief, and Transformation

“There is no more wretched prison than the fear of hurting a person who loves you.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke on Love

“This afternoon I couldn't get out of bed, not because I was too tired but because I was too "heavy" - again and again that word, it's the only one that fits me, do you understand this at all? It's something like the “heaviness” of a ship which has lost its rudder and which says to the waves: "I'm too heavy for myself and for you too light".”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
