Rainer Maria Rilke
“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
tags: love

Virginia Woolf
“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”
Virginia Woolf

Rachel Cusk
“I suppose, I said, it is one definition of love, the belief in something that only the two of you can see.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Albert Camus
“Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.”
Albert Camus

Andrew Sean Greer
“Because to love someone ridiculous is to understand something deep and true about the world. That up close it makes no sense. Those of you who choose sensible people may feel secure, but I think you water your wine; the wonder of life is in its small absurdities, so easily overlooked. And if you have not shared somebody’s tilted view of the horizon (which is the actual world), tell me: what have you really seen?”
Andrew Sean Greer, Less Is Lost
