“Eternity has a way of letting us all grow up.”

“Fate has a way of letting us know when we have screwed up by turning everything into an uphill battle.”

“Slowly but surely I have been soaking Rilke up these last few months: the man, his work and his life. And that is probably the only right way with literature, with study, with people or with anything else: to let it all soak in, to let it all mature slowly inside you until it has become a part of yourself. That, too, is a growing process. Everything is a growing process. And in between, emotions and sensations that strike you like lightning. But still the most important thing is the organic process of growing.”

“Dreams are what keep us growing. They are what keep us alive. To give up, is to let our dreams die.”

“Some wounds cut us so deep that they stop us. Stop us from letting go, from growing up, from seeing the truth.”

“GROWTH - It is not for me or for you, it is for US. When we grow, it literally means that the world grows with us and for us. Let us keep growing.”
