Why is it that I am always neighbor
to those lost ones who are forced to sing
and to say: Life is infinitely heavier
than the heaviness of all things.
(The Neighbor)
More Quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke:
For what I want to say to you is this:my efforts shall be like a driving force,
quite without anger, without timidness
as little children show their love for you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
At the bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity that one is alone. That isn't as bad as it may first appear and again it is the best thing in life that each should have everything in himself his fate, his future, his whole expanse and world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart And try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers that cannot be given For you would not be able to live them And the point is to live everything Live the questions now And perhaps without knowing it You will live along some day into the answers.
Rainer Maria Rilke
... denn da ist keine Stelle,die dich nicht sieht. Du musst dein Leben andern.(... for there is no placethat does not see you. You must change your life.)
Rainer Maria Rilke
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. Letters to a Young Poet.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.

David was the kind of guy who was totally supportive of the actors and instructed the writing staff to trust the actor's instincts, since after all, it's the actors playing the character.
