Comment on Letters to a Young Poet (1903)Comments−danieljohnson6yA few quotes from it, that have stuck with me:- It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.- Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.- I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.- This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

A few quotes from it, that have stuck with me:
- It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
- Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
- I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
- This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
