A Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke

Beauty is only the start of bearable terror. — © Rainer Maria Rilke
Beauty is only the start of bearable terror.
Beauty is only bearable when you're happy.
terror finally becomes almost bearable but never quite terror creeps like a cat crawls like a cat across my mind
Love has, at its best, made the inherent sadness of life bearable, and its beauty manifest.
Death is the mother of beauty,” said Henry. “And what is beauty?” “Terror.
If you admire yourself in the mirror, let it be in fear and not delight, because the only thing that beauty will bring to you is terror of losing it.
Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You'll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be. That I have maintained, do maintain and always will maintain. People who think you can use terror are quite wrong. No, no, terror is useless, whatever its colour – white, red or even brown! Terror completely paralyses the nervous system.
I know, that Rilke quote - "Beauty is the beginning of terror" - I think about that a lot. It's that realization that we are so small, and yet we are so large in our capacity to relate to the beauty of things.
If Jesus gives us a task or assigns us to a difficult season, every ounce of our experience is meant for our instruction and completion if only we'll let Him finish the work. I fear, however, that we are so attention-deficit that we settle for bearable when beauty is just around the corner.
There is no good terror and bad terror. Terror is terror. There's not terror that you can accept and terror that you cannot accept. Terror is terror. Murder is murder.
Terror must be attacked from where it originates. Otherwise, you will only be defending yourself against terror.
Terror, terror, terror. Life was a reign o terror in the shadow of the guillotine.
Nature is unfair? So much the better, inequality is the only bearable thing, the monotony of equality can only lead us to boredom.
Solitude is bearable only with God.
Terror is terror is terror, and it doesn't matter what nationality that terror belongs to.
I think as the beauty industry moves forward, you will start to see more brands opening their eyes and becoming vegan. Excluding a huge part of the beauty consumers who only buy vegan, isn't right and if you can make just as high-quality makeup, why not stop cruelty?
A revolution cannot progress without the fuel of terror. With time that relationship inverts: the revolution presses forward for the sake of terror. Like an artist, the man creating terror should be detached, cold-blooded. He must keep in mind that the energy of the terror he releases can consume him.
