"We have no reason to harbour any mistrust against our world, for it is not against us.
If it has terrors, they are our terrors; if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us;
if there are dangers we must try to love them. And if we arrange our life in accordance
with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now
appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience"

--Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
