Rainer Maria Rilke

"I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone."

"Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further."

"No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger."

"Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further."

"The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing."

"One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one."
