Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes

But This Is What ... People Are So Often And Disastrously Wrong In Doing: They (who By Their Very Nature Are Impatient) Fling Themselves At Each Other When Love Takes Hold Of Them, They Scatter Themselves, Just As They Are, In All Their Messiness, Disorder, Bewilderment ...
And What Can Happen Then? What Can Life Do With This Heap Of Half Broken Things That They Would Like To Call Their Happiness, And Their Futures?
And So Each Of Them Loses Himself To The Other For The Sake Of The Other Person, And Loses The Other. And Loses The Vast Possibilities ... In Exchange For An Unfruitful Confusion, Out Of Which Nothing More Can Come, Nothing But A Bit Of Disgust, Disappointment And Poverty.
