1799·Berlin, Germany
People often say that I'm curious about too many things at once. But can you really forbid a man from harboring a desire to know and embrace everything that surrounds him?
Everything is interaction and reciprocal.
The sun and distant stars appeared to mingle in the perfection of the same natural order, and I felt, in the stillness of the tropical night, how much more alive and near to the heavens was this part of the earth.
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADExternal things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.
Marcus Aurelius·170 ADVery little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Rainer Maria Rilke·1903If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches.
