Rilke Quote by Rilke
““Pa još se uopšte nisam privikao ovom svetu, koji mi se čini dobar. Šta ću u nekom drugom ? Tako bih rado ostao među značenjima koja sam zavoleo, pa ako se već nešto mora promeniti želeo bih da bar smem živeti među psima, koji imaju srodan svet i iste stvari.””

![“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue [...] Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers.” quote by rilke](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/203/rilke-44860_books_be-patient-toward-all-that-is-unsolved-i_67752.jpg)
