“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
HEAVEN BUT NOT HELL LOVE BUT NOT HATE HOT BUT NOT COLD KIND BUT NOT CRUEL SWIFT BUT NOT SLOW SWEET BUT NOT SOUR YOUNG BUT NOT OLD ALIVE BUT NOT DEAD FORGIVING BUT NOT BITTER
"Do I know? [...] The silence, it might be ... or the stillness. To have no more running to do ... to have arrived, and have no more need to run. The appetite changes. Now I think it would be a beautiful thing to be still.”
― Ellis Peters, A Rare Benedictine
