Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes
Loving Isn't Merging, Surrendering, Uniting With The Other. Rather, It's A Kind Of Solitude; Of Profound Aloneness. It Induces You To Mature And Become Whole For The Sake Of Your Beloved ... To Truly Love Another, You Must First Wholly Love Yourself. Love Therefore Exacts The Most Demanding Claim Of All; It Both Chooses You And Pursues You, And Reaches Out, As If Over Vast Distances, To Call And Draw You Into Your Now And Future Self.
John VanDyke Wilmerding, Ideas Put Forth Inspired By ('after') Rainer Maria Rilke's 'Letters To A Young Poet
