More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Do not be bewildered by the surfaces: in the depths all becomes law.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Children are still the way you were as a child, sad and happy in just the same way-and if you think of your childhood, you once again live among them, among the solitary children.
Rainer Maria Rilke
What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours-that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as you were when you were a child.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Now for some heartwork.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.
Rainer Maria Rilke
It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Where I create, there I am true.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.
Rainer Maria Rilke
All things want to float.
Rainer Maria Rilke
They, who passed away long ago, still exist in us, as predisposition, as burden upon our fate, as murmuring blood, and as gesture that rises up from the depths of time.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand always already quite near its transformation.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Deeply I go down into myself. My god is Dark and like a webbing made of a hundred roots that drink in silence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Leave to your opinions their own quiet undisturbed development, which, like all progress, must come from deep within and cannot be pressed or hurried by anything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
You have had many sadnesses, large ones, which passed. ... But please, ask yourself whether these large sadnesses haven't rather gone right through you [that is, passed through you]. Perhaps many things inside you have been transformed perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Ah, not to be cut off, not through the slightest partition shut out from the law of the stars. The inner -- what is it? if not the intensified sky, hurled through with birds and deep with the winds of homecoming.
Rainer Maria Rilke
She who reconciles the ill-matched threads Of her life, and weaves them gratefully Into a single cloth – It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall And clears it for a different celebration.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us mostly they are passed on unopened.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The flower bends when the wind wants it to, and you must become like that-that is, filled with deep # trust .
Rainer Maria Rilke
The future must enter you long before it happens.
Rainer Maria Rilke
