1. In spring or in a dream, I once met you. Now we are walking through the autumn together, and you are holding my hand and crying. Are you crying for the fleeting clouds or the blood-red petals? It doesn’t matter. I think: you were happy once. In spring or in a dream.

2. You must be patient like a patient and confident like a recovered person.

3. After experiencing a life full of problems, maybe one day, without knowing it, you will gradually live a life full of answers.

4. They have no home in the city. They are lost in the city, as if they are lost in an endless and hateful forest. In the hustle and bustle, they cannot hear the steps of the will. In everyone's heart, Fear is growing. They walked crookedly, and everything seemed to hang over their heads. No one helps them. They had childhood, now lost, strength, now sick.

5. You have to trust your own feelings. If you are wrong, the natural growth of your inner life will slowly and readily lead you to realize your error. Let your judgment develop quietly. Development, like every progress, comes deeply from the heart. It can neither be forced nor rushed. Everything happens when the time comes.

6. To be loved means to be consumed and burned to ashes, while to love means to be an eternal lamp shining with light. To be loved is fleeting, but to love is eternal.

7. Explore the reason why you are asked to write, and examine whether its basis is deep in your heart. You must admit frankly that if you cannot write it, you will die from it from time to time.

8. Tolerate the difficult doubts in your heart and try to love the problems that bother you. Don't look for answers, you won't find them because you can't live with them yet. The important thing is that you have to live in everything. Now you have to experience a life full of problems. Maybe one day, without knowing it, you will gradually live a life full of answers.

9. Love is good; because love is difficult. To love others with others: This may be our most difficult and important thing, it is the final experiment and test, it is the highest work, and other tasks are preparations for this. The young people at the beginning of it all cannot yet love; they must learn. They must spend their entire lives gathering their lonely, painful, and upwardly excited hearts to learn love.

10. Survival is continuous suffering, and continuous suffering is the proof of being alive and also happiness. What is absolutely impossible is to stop looking for relevant answers.

11. We fly over everything alone, as unpredictable as the wind. And everything conspires to remain silent against us, half perhaps out of shyness, half like an unspeakable hope.

12. Don’t be confused in loneliness, because you have some desire to get out of this loneliness. It is this desire that, if you use it calmly, brilliantly, like a tool, will help you extend your loneliness far and wide.

13. May you have enough patience to take responsibility and a simple heart enough to believe. Please believe: no matter what, life is reasonable.

14. Cover my eyes, I can still see you. Cover my ears and I can still hear you. Without my feet, I can still walk towards you. Without a mouth, I can still call you. Break my arms and I can still use my heart. Instead of embracing your shadow with hands. Remove my heart and my brain will still be beating. My brain is burned, but I can still lift you with all the blood in my body.

15. You have to trust your own feelings. If you are wrong, the natural growth of your inner life will slowly and readily lead you to realize your error. Let your judgment develop quietly. Development, like every progress, comes deeply from the heart. It can neither be forced nor rushed. Everything happens when the time comes. You have to look forward to a new moment of enlightenment with deep humility and patience.

16. People always seem to be absent-minded and preoccupied. When we pass by something, we never give real care, just like a meteor falling in the sky, no one sees it and no one Make a wish. Never forget to bless yourself, Malte.

17. The future comes among us in order to change us long before it happens.

18. Be patient with all unresolved matters and strive to love the problem itself.

19. What we love in our hearts is not the people who will appear one day, but the endless stream of people; not a single child, but those who lie deep in us like fallen mountains. the dry river-beds of the ancient mothers; the whole silent landscape under the gloomy or clear sky of its destiny. All of this, my dear, precedes you.

20. Everyone who is looking for you wants to test you. Those who find you will bind you with pictures and gestures. But I want to understand you as the earth understands you, and as I mature, your kingdom will mature too. I don’t want the vanity of proving your existence from you. I know: time has its own name, and you have yours.
