If you feel passionate about making art this is definitely worth reading, but I unfortunately have no direction in life so!

Transformative, refreshing, probably needs a reread

There is very little that I liked or that spoke even a little bit to me in these letters. My judgement rather is that I wish these letters had remained private because of what I have read, I regret most.

I wish to never read anything by Rilke ever again.

'life has not forgotten you'

this did absolutely nothing for me. I've been sold a bill of goods. can't believe I was led to believe this book was so great and profound. I felt nothing and enjoyed nothing. dammit.

El libro me ha creado la necesidad de escribir cartas.
Probablemente lo (compre y lo) relea cuando esté triste.

Las obras de arte son soledades infinitas y con nada son menos alcanzables que con la crítica. Sólo el amor puede comprenderlas, celebrarlas y ser justo con ellas.

No tiene de qué asustarse, querido señor Kappus, si ante usted se alza una tristeza tan grande como nunca la haya sentido; o si una inquietud como luz o sombra de nubes cae sobre sus manos y hace efecto en usted. Tiene que pensar que algo le acontece, que la vida no le ha olvidado, que lo tiene en sus manos y que no le dejará caer.
