Rainer Maria Rilke Quote
Young people -it is obvious -cannot achieve such a relationship, but they can, if they understand their life properly, grow up slowly to such happiness and prepare themselves for it. They must not forget, when they love, that they are beginners, bunglers of life, apprentices in love- must learn love, and that like all learning wants peace, patience, and composure.
On young couples who have not yet matured enough to recognize and respect each other's solitude - Letters to a Young Poet (1934)
