Quote by Rainer Maria Rilke

All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you.

All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that

Summary

This quote suggests that all emotions have the potential to be positive and uplifting. Emotions that encompass and embrace all aspects of an individual are considered pure, as they bring about a sense of wholeness. On the other hand, emotions that only focus on one aspect of a person and distort their perception are deemed impure. Essentially, the quote alludes to the idea that a balanced and inclusive emotional experience leads to personal growth, while a biased and distorted emotional state limits one's understanding of oneself and the world.
