Anastasia

“For our part, when we feel, we
evaporate; ah, we breathe
ourselves out and away; with each new
heartfire
we give off a fainter scent. True,
someone may tell us:
you're in my blood, this room, Spring
itself
is filled with you . . . To what end?
He can't hold us,
we vanish within him and around him.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

“True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves.”
― Theodor Adorno

“People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.”
― Hermann Hesse

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
― Charles Bukowski
