to live

To Be What I Am

“But to be what I am, to live what I was meant to live, to want to sound like no one else, to yield the blossoms dictated to my heart: this is what I want – and this surely cannot be arrogance. (Letters on Life)”― Rainer Maria Rilke

To Be Slowly Born

“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exuper
