One of my favourite German poets

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.
Rainer Maria Rilke
German lyric poet (1875 - 1926)

I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Selected Letters of 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.
Rainer Maria Rilke
German lyric poet (1875 - 1926)
