Rainer Maria Rilke
If only we arrange our life according to that principle which counsels us that we must hold to the difficult, then that which now still seems to us the most alien will become what we most trust and find most faithful.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke
Never believe fate is more than the condensation of childhood.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And when suddenly the god stopped her and, with anguish in his cry, uttered the words: ‘He has turned round’ – she comprehended nothing and said softly: ‘Who?
Rainer Maria Rilke
The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a world from the smallest part of a thing.
