"Words are not in the power of men; men are in the power of words. Every time we open our mouths, a thousand dead men speak through us."

Only the individual who is solitary is like a thing placed under profound laws, and when he goes out into the morning that is just beginning, or looks out into the evening that is full of happening, and if he feels what is going on there, then all status drops from him as from a dead man, though he stands in the midst of sheer life.

— Rainer Maria Rilke
