Destiny Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke
““Why, if this interval of being can be spent serenely in the form of a laurel, slightly darker than all other green, with tiny waves on the edges of every leaf (like the smile of a breeze)—: why then have to be human—and, escaping from fate, keep longing for fate? . . .””
![“[…] there come moments when we know we are no more and no less than waves and snowflakes, or than that which surely feels, now and then, from its so wonderfully charming confinement, the pull of longing: the leaf.” quote by Robert Walser](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/071/robert-walser-6307_nostalgia_there-come-moments-when-we-know-we-are-n_1573667.jpg)
![“[...] leaving for a day or two that hopeless sense of loss which makes beauty what it is: a distant lone tree against golden heavens; ripples of light on the inner curve of a bridge; a thing impossible to capture.” quote by Vladimir Nabokov](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/761/vladimir-nabokov-198_beauty_leaving-for-a-day-or-two-that-hopeless-s_1892702.jpg)
