"If the Angel deigns to come it will because you have convinced her, not by tears but by your humble resolve to be always beginning; to be a beginner."
-Rainer Maria Rilke
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I noticed that you have quoted Rilke a couple times. Could you do a post on the person, I want to know who she/he is
Rilke is a lyrical poet who wrote in German. His life spanned the turn of the 20th century.
"Whenever Rilke writes about God, however, he is not referring to the deity in the traditional sense, but rather uses the term to refer to the life force, or nature, or an all-embodying, pantheistic consciousness that is only slowly coming to realize its existence. "
