Rainer Maria Rilke Beginners Quotations

That is why young people, who are beginners in everything, are not yet capable of love: it is something they must learn. With their whole being, with all their forces, gathered around their solitary, anxious, upward-beating heart, they must learn to love.

Young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it.

Resolve to be always beginning-to be a beginner!
