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.

More quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
Keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can perhaps answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
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
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And even if you were in some prison, the walls of which let none of the sounds of the world come to your senses - would you not then still have your childhood, that precious, kingly possession, that treasure-house of memories?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient with all that is uncertain in your heart...do not search for answers, which will not be given: you will not be able to live them, and its importat to live everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke
For our part, when we feel, we evaporate ah, we breathe ourselves out and away with each new heartfire we give off a fainter scent. True, someone may tell us: you're in my blood, this room, Spring itself is filled with you . . . To what end? He can't hold us, we vanish within him and around him.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Trees do not force their sap, nor does the flower push its bloom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
More unsayable than all other things are works of art, those mysterious existences, whose life endures beside our own small, transitory life.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Go into yourself. Dig into yourself for a deep answer
Rainer Maria Rilke
Everything that makes more of you than you have ever been, even in your best hours, is right. Every intensification is good.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be ahead of all farewells as if they were behind you, like the winter that is just departing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)-they are experiences.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
As the arrow endures the string, and in the gathering momentum becomes more than itself. Because to stay is to be nowhere.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be, in this immensity of night, the magic force at your sense's crossroad.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Live the questions now.
Rainer Maria Rilke
