Quote

Whoever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room, of which you know every bit your house is the last before the infinite, whoever you are.

It was not in me It came and went I wanted to hold it It was held by wine (I no longer know what it was)
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Sometime we will have to stop overevaluating the word. We shall learn to realize that it is only one of the many bridges that connect the island of our soul with the great continent of common life. . . the broadest, perhaps, but in no way the most refined.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future lessens . . . . Superabundant existence wells in my heart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Again and again in history some people wake up. They have no ground in the crowd and move to broader deeper laws. They carry strange customs with them and demand room for bold and audacious action. The future speaks ruthlessly through them. They change the world.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Earth, my dearest, oh believe me, you no longer need your springtimes to win me over...Unspeakably, I have belonged to you, from the flush.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Earth, is not this what you will: in us to rise up invisible? Is it, O Earth, not your dream once to be wholly invisible? Earth! Invisible! What, if not change, is your desperate mission?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes, far in the distance.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Resolve to be always beginning-to be a beginner!
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Look, we don't love like flowers with only one season behind us when we love, a sap older than memory rises in our arms.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Love is like the measles. The older you get it, the worse the attack.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
He who does not at some time, with definite determination consent to the terribleness of life, or even exalt in it, never takes possession of the inexpressible fullness of the power of our existence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart...Delve into yourself for a deep answer
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Destiny itself is like a wonderful wide tapestry in which every thread is guided by an unspeakable tender hand, placed beside another thread and held and carried by a hundred others.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it blame yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches for the Creator, there is no poverty.
Rainer Maria Rilke
