More From Rainer Maria Rilke

The academic teaching on beauty is false. we have been misled, but so completely misled that we can no longer find so much as a shadow of a truth again. the beauties of the parthenon, the venuses, the nymphs, the narcisusses, are so may lies. art is not the application of a canon of beauty, but what the instinct and the brain can conceive independently of that canon.
Art Lying Teaching
It sounds strange, somewhat on the line between irony and absurdity, to think that people would rather label and judge something as significant as each other but completely bypass a peanut. ... world peace is only a dream because people won't allow themselves and others around them to simply be peanuts. we won't allow the color of a man's heart to be the color of his skin, the premise of his beliefs, and his self-worth. we won't allow him to be a peanut, therefore we won't allow ourselves to come to live in harmony. (diary 18)

A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

Forgive yourself for not being the richest, the thinnest, the tallest, the one with the best hair. forgive yourself for not being the most successful, the cutest or the one with the fastest time. forgive yourself for not winning every round. forgive yourself for being afraid. but don’t let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself, for not caring or not trying.

One of the first things i think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself. then you can come to an intelligent decision for yourself. if you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you're going east, and you will be walking east when you think you're going west.
Intelligent Thinking People
My young friends, i look forward to you as the real makers of pakistan, do not be exploited and do not be misled. create amongst yourselves complete unity and solidarity. set an example of what youth can do. your main occupation should be in fairness to yourself, to your parents, in fairness to the state, to devote your attention to your studies. if you fritter away your energies now, you will always regret.
