Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart … if out of this turning-within, out of this immersion in your own world, poems come, then you will not think of asking anyone whether they are good or not. … for you will see them as your dear natural possession, a piece of your life, a voice from it.

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
