"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."

Cause, sadly, there's nothing else of interest to stop for.”
“Fellini belongs to nature.”
“Act! the wise are known by their actions; fame and immortality are ever their attendants. Mark with deeds the vanishing traces of swiftrolling time.

“This is an an abundant universe. Grasp your birthright. Success is a massive abundance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.”
