Rainer Maria Rilke

Except wait and be ready for the times when... Carson McCullers
Had it taken her this long to discover that she lacked some simple mental trick that everyone else had, a mechanism so ordinary that no one ever mentioned it, an immediate sensual connection to people and events, and to her own needs and desires?

Never have I seen a man run as Holmes ran that night. Arthur Conan Doyle
