"He who loved this life ...."

He who loved this life can love his death, as well.

Theodore Roethke

"If your everyday life seems poor to you ...."

“If your everyday life seems poor to you, do not accuse it; accuse yourself, tell yourself you are not poet enough to summon up its riches; since for the creator there is no poverty and no poor or unimportant place.”

Rainer Maria Rilke
