If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us mostly they are passed on unopened.
Rainer Maria Rilke
To work is to live without dying.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And these things that keep alive on departure know that you praise them transient, they look to us, the most transient, to be their rescue. They want us to change them completely, in our invisible hearts, into -- O endlessly -- us! Whoever, finally, we may be.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Be forever dead in Eurydice-more gladly arise into the seamless life proclaimed in your song. Here, in the realm of decline, among momentary days, be the crystal cup that shattered even as it rang.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The artist's task consists of making one thing of many, and a world from the smallest part of a thing.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I believe that nothing that is real can pass away.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'hierarchies? and even if one of thempressed me against his heart: I would be consumedin that overwhelming existence. For beauty is nothingbut the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure,and we are so awed because it serenely disdainsto annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.
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
There are no classes in life for beginners right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Joy is a marvelous increasing of what exists, a pure addition out of nothingness.
Rainer Maria Rilke
a good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude
Rainer Maria Rilke
Do you remember how life yearned out of childhood toward the great thing? I see that it is now yearning forth beyond the great thing toward the greater one.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Painting is something that takes place among the colors.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Every happiness is the child of a separation it did not think it could survive.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Here is the time for the sayable, here is its home. Speak and attest. More than ever the things we can live with are falling away, and ousting them, filling their place, a will with no image. Will beneath crusts which readily crack whenever the act inside swells and seeks new borders.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One of the most difficult tests for the creator: he must always remain unconscious, unaware of his best virtues, if he doesn't want to rob them of their candor and innocence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The only journey is the one within.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Animals see the unobstructed world with their whole eyes. But our eyes, turned back upon themselves, encircle and seek to snare the world, setting traps for freedom.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Describe your sorrows and desires, passing thoughts and the belief in some sort of beauty-describe all these with loving, quiet, humble sincerity, and use, to express yourself, the things in your environment, the images from your dreams, and the objects of your memory.
Rainer Maria Rilke
