It doesn't matter where
We are born, so to speak, provisionally, it doesn't matter where; it is only gradually that we compose, within ourselves, our true place of origin, so that we may be born there retrospectively.
Sorry I don't remember the author, but I read it on Ian Flemming's "You only live twice": 'You only live twice. When you are born and when you die' And my favorite, by Guillermo Prieto: 'The abyss doesn't scare me. Cascading water is far more beautiful'
Jingo: You're correct - Rilke is heavily quoted in the The Time Traveler's Wife. Anyway my layout is actually one of the default layouts designed by Blogger, I only changed the HTML codes a little so as to make it more personalised. :)
The Usual Stuff: Nice quotes! Thanks for sharing. :D
An excellent quote for the New Year! I'm sure Rilke features heavily in the Time Travellers Wife, although I can't be sure.
SvarSletA question that has always bugged me: did you design the layout by yourself? It really is excellent :D
