"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Courage.


Think of the world that you carry within yourself and set it above everything that you notice about you. Your inmost happening is worth your whole love that is what you must somehow work at, and not loose too much time and too much courage in explaining your attitude to people.  That is fundamentally the only courage which is demanded of us: to be brave in the face of the strangest, most singular and most inexplicable things that can befall us.

Rainer Maria Rilke
