Rainer Maria Rilke
“Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.”
Rainer Marie Rilke

Yehuda Amichai
“Try to remember some details. For the world
is filled with people who were torn from their sleep
with no one to mend the tear,
and unlike wild beasts they live
each in his lonely hiding place and they die
together on battlefields
and in hospitals.
And the earth will swallow all of them,
good and evil together, like the followers of Korah,
all of them in their rebellion against death,
their mouths open till the last moment,
praising and cursing in a single
howl. Try, try
to remember some details.”
Yehuda Amichai

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Yehuda Amichai
“Out of three or four in a room
One is always standing at the window
Hair dark above his thoughts
Behind him the words
And in front of him the words, wandering without luggage
Hearts without provision, prophecies without water,
And big stones put there
And stayed, closed, like letters,
With no adresses; and no one to receive them.”
Yehuda Amichai, Selected Poems

Yehuda Amichai
“In my life are many windows
and many graves.

Sometimes they exchange
roles:
then a window is closed forever,
then by way of a gravestone
I can see
very far.

(Hebrew-to-English translation by Rabbi Steven Sager)”
Yehuda Amichai
