Rainer Maria Rilke : (4) " I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone. " - Rainer Maria Rilke " Surely all art is the result of one’s having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further. " - Rainer Maria Rilke " There are so many things about which some old man ought to tell one while one is little; for when one is grown one would know them as a matter of course. " - Rainer Maria Rilke " No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger. " - Rainer Maria Rilke
