The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise. - Rainer Maria Rilke (Letters to a Young Poet Quotes)

The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise.[Gefährlich und schlecht sind nur jene Traurigkeiten, die man unter die Leute trägt, um sie zu übertönen.]
