Quotes About Acceptance

Nikad ne treba o?ajavati, kad se nešto izgubi, osoba ili radost ili sre?a; sve se još divnije vra?a. Što otpasti mora, otpada, što nama pripada, uz nas ostaje, jer sve se po zakonima odvija, koji su ve?i od naše spoznaje i s kojima smo samo nao?igled u suprotnosti. Treba u sebi živeti i na celi život misliti, na sve svoje milijone mogu?nosti, širine i budu?nosti, naspram kojih ne postoji ni prošlo niti izgubljeno.

But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive and will himself draw exhaustively from his own existence.

Quite pure, quite free of future planning, I mounted the tangled funeral pyre built for my suffering, so sure of nothing more to buy for future needs, while in my heart the stored reserves kept silent.

We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it." ? Rainer Maria Rilke, Translations from the Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

Czemu mieliby?my chcie? zamieni? m?dre nierozumienie dziecka na niech?? i pogard?. Wszak nierozumienie oznacza bycie samemu, natomiast niech?? i pogarda - udzia? w tym, od czego cz?owiek chce si? za ich pomoc? odseparowa?.

I have my dead and I have let them go and been surprised, to see them so consoled, so soon at home in death, just right this way, so unlike what we hear.

Wij hebben geen reden tot argwaan tegen onze wereld, want zij is niet tegen ons. Heeft zij verschrikkingen dan zijn het onze verschrikkingen; heeft zij afgronden, dan behoren die afgronden aan ons toe; zijn er gevaren, dan moeten wij proberen ze lief te hebben. Borgeby Gård Flädie, Zweden, 12 augustus 2017
