Being dead filled her beyond fulfillment. Like a fruit
suffused with its own mystery and sweetness,
she was filled with her vast death, which was so new,
she could not understand that it had happened. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Theresia quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
There is a story they tell, about a girl dared by her peers to venture to a local graveyard after dark. This was her folly: when they told her that standing on someone's grave at night would cause the inhabitant to reach up and pull her under, she scoffed. Scoffing is the first mistake a woman can make.

I will show you, she said.

Pride is the second mistake.

They gave her a knife to stick into the frosty earth, as a way of proving her presence and her theory.

She went to that graveyard. Some storytellers say that she picked the grave at random. I believe she selected a very old one, her choice tinged by self-doubt and the latent belief that if she were wrong, the intact muscle and flesh of a newly dead corpse would be more dangerous than one centuries gone.

She knelt on the grave and plunged the blade deep. As she stood to run she found she couldn't escape. Something was clutching at her clothes. She cried out and fell down.

When morning came, her friends arrived at the cemetery. They found her dead on the grave, the blade pinning the sturdy wool of her skirt to the ground. Dead of fright or exposure, would it matter when the parents arrived? She was not wrong, but it didn't matter any more. Afterwards, everyone believed that she had wished to die, even though she had died proving that she could live.

As it turns out, being right was the third, and worst, mistake. ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Maria Theresia quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
Tell me "The Subtle Briar" again,' she asked. She knew I would still know it by heart. I whispered to her in the dark.

'When you cut down the hybrid rose,
its blackened stump below the graft
spreads furtive fingers in the dirt.
It claws at life, weaving a raft
of suckering roots to pierce the earth.
The first thin shoot is fierce and green,
a pliant whip of furious briar
splitting the soil, gulping the light.
You hack it down. It skulks between
the flagstones of the garden path
to nurse a hungry spur in shade
against the porch. With iron spade
you dig and drag it from the gravel
and toss it living on the fire.

'It claws up towards the light again
hidden from view, avoiding battle
beyond the fence. Unnoticed, then,
unloved, unfed, it clings and grows
in the wild hedge. The subtle briar
armors itself with desperate thorns
and stubborn leaves – and struggling higher,
unquenchable, it now adorns
itself with blossom, till the stalk
is crowned with beauty, papery white
fine petals thin as chips of chalk
or shaven bone, drinking the light.

Maria Theresia quotes by Elizabeth Wein
Trust, Kiki said, Trust is peppermints. ~ Maria V. Snyder
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria V. Snyder
Early this morning I read about your autumn, and all the colors you brought into your letter were changed back in my feelings and filled my mind to the brim with strength and radiance.
Yesterday, while I was admiring the dissolving brightness of autumn here, you were walking through that other autumn back home, which is painted on red wood, as this one's painted on silk. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Theresia quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Someone once told me not to be afraid of being afraid, because, as she said, 'Anxiety is a glimpse of your own daring.' Isn't that great? It means that part of your agitation is just excitement about what you're getting ready to accomplish. Don't sell yourself short by being so afraid of failure that you don't dare to make any mistakes. Make your mistakes and learn from them. And remember: No matter how many mistakes you make, your mother always loves you! ~ Maria Shriver
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Shriver
I attended TED in 2007 and 2008, the last two years the conference was held in Monterey. ~ Maria Semple
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Semple
Motherhood: 24/7 on the frontlines of humanity. Are you man enough to try it? ~ Maria Shriver
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Shriver
All work is noble; the only ignoble thing is to live without working. There is need to realize the value of work in all its forms whether manual or intellectual, to be called 'mate,' to have sympathetic understanding of all forms of activity. ~ Maria Montessori
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Montessori
I classify Sao Paolo this way: The Governor's Palace is the living room. The mayor's office is the dining room and the city is the garden. And the favela is the back yard where they throw the garbage. ~ Carolina Maria De Jesus
Maria Theresia quotes by Carolina Maria De Jesus
We know only that in some strange and melancholy way we have become a waste land. All the same, we are not often sad. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Theresia quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
When we want to infuse new ideas,
to modify or better the habits and customs of a people,
to breathe new vigor into its national traits,
we must use the children as our vehicle; for little can be accomplished with adults. ~ Maria Montessori
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Montessori
Nothing makes you want somthing more than having it and losing it. Until I got that top ranking, I hadn't realized how much I'd wanted it. Now, more than anything, I wanted it back. ~ Maria Sharapova
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Sharapova
Because I never held you close, I hold you forever. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Theresia quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
You have the right to follow your heart. Do what feels right, for you. ~ Maria Erving
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Erving
He does not always remain bent over the
pages; he often leans back and closes
his eyes over a line he has been reading
again, and its meaning spreads through
his blood. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Theresia quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
A history has not been made by you.
History made you.
The Religious Leader Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Amen ~ Petra Hermans
Maria Theresia quotes by Petra Hermans
On my walks, that's when the good ideas come. The kind of hard, gritty work is when you're sitting at the computer and it's kind of intense and you're kind of in super control of it - the walks are when you let go. That's when the really big breakthroughs come in, and it's very strange. ~ Maria Semple
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Semple
There is no reasoning with imagination. ~ Maria Edgeworth
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Edgeworth
Bombardment, barrage, curtain-fire, mines, gas, tanks, machine-guns, hand-grenades - words, words, but they hold the horror of the world. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Theresia quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
It's a dirty way to fight, but I'm late for lunch.
- Valek to Yelena ~ Maria V. Snyder
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria V. Snyder
We have so much to say, and we shall never say it. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Theresia quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
Our heart always transcends us. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Maria Theresia quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
In TV writing, I felt like Gulliver being tied down by the Lilliputians. There's so much more freedom in fiction writing. ~ Maria Semple
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Semple
I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business. ~ Maria Bamford
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Bamford
I remembered my question! Did you find a partner? ~ Maria Kanellis
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Kanellis
I help design my own tennis clothes. ~ Maria Sharapova
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Sharapova
My father never was and isn't a mean man. You know, he never was ruthless. And he succeeded in life without sticking it to anybody. And that's a great example for a man, a strong man, a man's man, to give to his children. You can succeed, you can be successful, without walking over somebody. ~ Maria Shriver
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Shriver
No one would believe that in this howling waste there could still be men; but steel helmets now appear on all sides out of the trench, and fifty yards from us a machine-gun is already in position and barking. The wire entanglements are torn to pieces. Yet they offer some obstacle. We see the storm-troops coming. Our artillery opens fire. Machine-guns rattle, rifles crack. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Maria Theresia quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
It is a beautiful impulse to contain the infinite in the finite, to rest order from the chaos, to construct a foothold so we may climb towards higher truth. It is also a limiting one, for in naming things we often come to mistake the names for the things themselves. ~ Maria Popova
Maria Theresia quotes by Maria Popova
A sensitive woman with a sensitive way of looking,
watching and thinking given and brings only

Maria Theresia quotes by Petra Hermans
There is a Quichua riddle: El que me nombra, me rompe. Whatever names me, breaks me. The solution, your course, is "silence." But the truth is, anyone who knows your name can break you in two. ~ Carmen Maria Machado
Maria Theresia quotes by Carmen Maria Machado
We agree that it's the same for everyone; not only for us here, but everywhere, for everyone who is of our age; to some more, and to others less. It is the common fate of our generation. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
