“Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.”
― Rainer Marie Rilke

“Out of three or four in a room
One is always standing at the window
Hair dark above his thoughts
Behind him the words
And in front of him the words, wandering without luggage
Hearts without provision, prophecies without water,
And big stones put there
And stayed, closed, like letters,
With no adresses; and no one to receive them.”
― Yehuda Amichai, Selected Poems

“The echo of a great love is like the echo of a huge dog’s barking in an empty Jerusalem house marked for demolition.”
― Yehuda Amichai, The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai

“In my life are many windows
and many graves.

Sometimes they exchange
roles:
then a window is closed forever,
then by way of a gravestone
I can see
very far.

(Hebrew-to-English translation by Rabbi Steven Sager)”
― Yehuda Amichai
