Want some light?

»I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.«
—Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters To A Young Poet where he gives answers to his young friend Franz Xaver Kappus.

»Es gibt keine Wirklichkeit als die, die wir in uns haben. Darum leben die meisten Menschen so unwirklich, weil sie die Bilder außerhalb für das Wirkliche halten und ihre eigene Welt in sich gar nicht zu Worte kommen lassen. Man kann glücklich damit sein. Aber wenn man einmal das andere weiß, dann hat man die Wahl nicht mehr, den Weg der meisten zu gehen.«
—Hermann Hesse, Demian.
»The things we see are the same things that are within us. There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. You can be happy that way. But once you know the other interpretation you no longer have the choice of following the crowd« (English literature version found via goodreads)

A little behind the scene photography I did last week for the blog of the new magazine THE GERMANS. The whole editorial-story about Jil Sander’s newest collection, featuring model Elena Bartels, will appear in printed version by the end of January. Support, share or just take a closer look at the mag here.
»What would it take to overcome the cultural pull of irony? Moving away from the ironic involves saying what you mean, meaning what you say and considering seriousness and forthrightness as expressive possibilities, despite the inherent risks. It means undertaking the cultivation of sincerity, humility and self-effacement, and demoting the frivolous and the kitschy on our collective scale of values. It might also consist of an honest self-inventory.«
—by Christie Wampole, in The New York Times
»I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.«
—Maya Angelou (us-american author, professor & human rights campaigner)
/I recently went through an old back up of two years old posts and found a lot of inspiring quotes. Since I’ve decided to show only works of mine (having said that I’m lacking creativity for months now. So there’s just some kind of white blankness, a wall of nothingness on my blog - besides some rare reblogged posts) I thought why not at least share some letters, words, a few sentences that potentially inspire not only me.
