“One must have a mind of winter.”
“By puberty I learned that nothing worth having could be easily attained and to succeed one must be single minded.”
“In order to learn, one must change one's mind.”
“One must bear in mind the odd angle or slant that the rays of love have to take in order to reach a heart like mine.”
“She searched her mind for a single day when it had felt good to be alive. There must have been one, surely?”
“For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it will your heart survive. - Rilke”
