”Jeder Engel ist schrecklich.  Und dennoch, weh mir, ansing ich euch, fast tödliche Vögel der Seele, wissend um euch.“

“Every angel is terrible. And yet, alas, I welcome you, almost fatal birds of the soul, knowing about you.” 

— Rainer Maria Rilke, Duineser Elegien: Die zweite Elegie (1923)

“I really don’t know what gave me the idea of angels. One day I wrote “angels” in my notebook, and the next day “the unemployed.” Maybe it was because I was reading Rilke at the time—nothing to do with films—and realizing as I read how much of his writing is inhabited by angels. Reading Rilke every night, perhaps I got used to the idea of angels being around.”

— Wim Wenders, essay written in October 1987, after the release of Wings of Desire.
