"Reading Rilke is a goldmine. Every phrase, every clause, every choice of words, even choices between alternatives of adjectives vs verbs vs nouns -- and more than all of this the authentic depth and labour of pondering -- every single element packages soul-nourishing, soul-directing insight, wisdom, inspiration, gateways of further thoughts. I am so excited to read more of such precious discourse from great thinkers." — Jan 19, 2025 11:00PM

― Here Be Dragons

“We feel cold, but we don't mind it, because we will not come to harm. And if we wrapped up against the cold, we wouldn't feel other things, like the bright tingle of the stars, or the music of the aurora, or best of all the silky feeling of moonlight on our skin. It's worth being cold for that.”

“...when all the openings were closed, then the worlds would all be restored to their proper relations with one another, Lyra’s Oxford and Will’s would lie over each other again, like transparent images on two sheets of film being moved closer and closer until they merged–although they would never truly touch.”
