“Losing too is still ours; and even forgetting
still has a shape in the kingdom of transformation.
When something's let go of, it circles; and though we are
rarely the center
of the circle, it draws around us its unbroken, marvelous
curve.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Be of good courage all is before you, and time passed in the difficult is never lost...What is required of us is that we live the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“the knowledge of impermanence that haunts our days is their very fragrance.”
