"The thought of being a creator, of engendering,……" — Rainer Maria Rilke

"The thought of being a creator, of engendering, of shaping is nothing without the continuous great confirmation and embodiment in the world, nothing without the thousandfold assent from Things and animals... beautiful and rich only because it is full of inherited memories of the engendering and birthing of millions."

— Rainer Maria Rilke
