"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Within.

Bernini, Angel, 1629



Think ... of the world which you carry within yourself and call this thinking what you like; let it be memory of your own childhood or longing for your own future, -- only pay attention to what arises within you, and set it above everything that you notice about you. Your innermost happening is worth your whole love, that is what you must somehow work at, and not lose too much time and too much courage explaining your attitude to people.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
