• There are quite a number of people in the reading-room; but one is not aware of them. They are inside the books. They move, sometimes, within the pages like sleepers turning over between two dreams. Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Dream, Book, Tired

  Rainer Maria Rilke (2014). “The Book of Images”, p.31, North Point Press

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Dream, Memories, Humble

And precisely where our deeds end, theirs begin to bear fruit.

  Rainer Maria Rilke

  Dream, Flower, Moving
