"works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism. only love can grasp and hold and be just toward them. consider yourself and your feeling right every time with regard to every such argumentation, discussion or introduction; if you are wrong, after all, the natural growth of your inner life will lead you slowly to other insights. leave to your opinions their own quiet undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything." rilke
"being an artist means not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. it does come. but it comes only to the patient who are there as though eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly still and wide. I learn it daily. I learn it with pain to which i am grateful: patience is everything" rilke
