Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Anaïs Nin
“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
Anais Nin

Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Anaïs Nin
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
Anais Nin
